| 1st Abstract | I will describe recent progress in understanding the physics of collisionless shocks using ab-initio kinetic simulations. Particularly, I will concentrate on shock acceleration efficiency for electrons, protons and ions, and on new insights into the shock injection physics and magnetic field amplification mechanisms. |
