Some recent issues in particle acceleration at shock fronts moving with newtonian to relativistic speed are briefly reviewed. We also try to stress the importance of these issues for the phenomenology of cosmic rays observed at the Earth. โข The maximum energy to which the parti-
The process of diffusive acceleration of charged particles in shocked plasmas is widely invoked in astrophysics to account for the ubiquitous presence of signatures of non-thermal relativistic electrons and ions in the universe. A key characteristic of this statistical energization mechanism is the
