Description

The physics of acceleration of charged particles in relativistic astrophysical sources represents a central question in modern high-energy astrophysics and multi-messenger astronomy. This talk will discuss modern developments in our understanding of Fermi-type processes in relativistic plasmas: acceleration at shock waves, acceleration in magnetized turbulence, and finally during the interaction between a relativistic shock wave and a magnetized turbulent plasma.
