acceleration of charged particles that repeatedly cross a shock front, scattered by magnetic turbulence, giving a power-law energy spectrum.

In astrophysics, diffusive shock acceleration refers to acceleration of charged particles that repeatedly cross a shock front, scattered by magnetic turbulence, giving a power-law energy spectrum. This meaning comes from Bell (1978) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
