The Acceleration of Charged Particles at a Spherical Shock Moving through an Irregular Magnetic Field

We investigate the physics of charged-particle acceleration at spherical shocks moving into a uniform plasma containing a turbulent magnetic field with a uniform mean. This has applications to particle acceleration at astrophysical shocks, most notably, to supernovae blast waves. We numerically inte...
