has gloss | eng: Fermi acceleration , sometimes referred to diffusive shock acceleration (a subclass of Fermi acceleration), is the acceleration that charged particles undergo when reflected by a magnetic mirror. This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which particles gain energy beyond the thermal energy in astrophysical shock waves. It plays a very important role in many astrophysical models, mainly of shocks including solar flares and supernova remnants. It is studied by using the Fermi-Ulam model. |

has gloss | fra: En physique, laccélération de Fermi, du nom du physicien italien Enrico Fermi désigne laccélération quune particule chargée subit quand elle est réfléchie dans un miroir magnétique. Ce mécanisme est dune importance centrale en astrophysique pour comprendre les chocs, par exemple dans les éruptions solaires et les rémanents de supernovae. |
