Some ICRC history...

The US president was George Bush;
War broke out in the Gulf!
After the 1991 ICRC I said we would never again hold another meeting of more than 100 people. However, last year we cohosted with Armagh Observatory the NAM2003 meeting, also ca 500 participants. On both occasions:
Not statistically significant, but....

In the heliosphere
in the Galaxy
at cosmological scales
Particle acceleration in the Universe
Universal phenomenon - seen:

Very common sequence...
Sudden release of energy
Mass ejection
Shock formation
Particle acceleration
CMEs, SNRs, GRBs etc...
![Page 8: Luke Drury Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Luke Drury Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Particle Acceleration in the Universe](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d3e5503460f94a17773/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Supersonic flow
Hits obstacle
Shock forms
Particle acceleration
Other common pattern....
Earth’s bow shock, pulsar wind, AGN jets etc..

Shock acceleration...Non-relativistic version reasonably well
understood.
Injection still a problem.
Nonlinear effects difficult to include in models, but generally good agreement.
Considerable progress on relativistic case.

Not the only game in town....
Magnetic reconnection
Second-order Fermi
Large E fields (pulsars?)
But seems to be the most important one....

Ambient compressed?
Amplified?
Self-generated?
However, need a (non-uniform) magnetic field....

Growing evidence for enhanced magnetic fields in young SNRs.
GRB models assume strong fields.
Equipartition fields seem to work in AGN hot-spots.
Plausible mechanisms exist
![Page 18: Luke Drury Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Luke Drury Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Particle Acceleration in the Universe](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d3e5503460f94a17773/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Faster acceleration
Higher cut-off energies
Greater radiative losses for electrons
Stronger magnetic fields mean....
but also...

Shock acceleration seems OK if we allow field amplification by shocks.
There are other possibilities though...
Need more and better data (over to you, Alan...)
Conclusions

The problem of the origin of cosmic rays will be solved by more work
and less talk!Rutherford, ca 1940
