Simbol-X: Focusing on the Hard X-Ray Universe: Proceedings of the Second International Simbol-X SymposiumJérôme Rodriguez, Phillippe Ferrando Simbol-X is a high energy astrophysics mission dedicated to hard X-ray imaging and spectroscopy in the 0.5-100 keV X-ray band. The several orders of magnitudes of improvement in angular resolution and sensitivity over all instruments which have operated so far in hard X-rays is obtained by using grazing incidence optics in a very long focal plane length telescope allowed by the new formation flying technology. The breakthrough in instrumentation will power a new window in astrophysics and cosmology, and will offer a large discovery space. Crucial advancements in black hole physics and census, and particle accelerations mechanisms will be possible. These define the core science objectives of the mission. The symposium consists of presentations on all aspects relevant to this mission both from the technical and scientific approaches. |

... acceleration is required in order to reproduce the non - thermal MeV tails . In our ' best fit ' models about 25 % of the heating power is provided in the form of non - thermal acceleration in the LHS while this fraction rises to about ...
... acceleration of cosmic rays . Moreover , the higher magnetic fields are important for accelerating ions to high energies , taking away some of the reservations that SNRs cannot even accelerate ions up to the " knee " . Fig . 2 shows ...
... acceleration processes at SNR shock fronts . In the X - ray domain , young SNRs exhibit synchrotron emission , mostly in the form of small - scale features such as thin filaments and hotspots whose nature is still a matter of intense ...
