Cosmic-ray Reacceleration

Cosmic-Ray Reacceleration is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that describes the process by which previously energetic cosmic rays gain additional kinetic energy through interactions with turbulent interstellar medium or shock waves, distinguishing it from primary acceleration mechanisms by focusing on the subsequent energization of pre-existing cosmic-ray populations.
