| Abstract: | The mechanism of particle acceleration by shocks is reviewed, and the resulting modifications of the shock structure contrasted with those which occur in molecular shocks with magnetic precursors. The danger associated with the use of steady models is emphasised and the applicability of the theory to cosmic ray acceleration in supernova remnants briefly discussed. |
