The goal of this project is to broaden our understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena, such as particle acceleration and radiation emission, in application to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are among the most energetic events known in the universe. The physical processes involved are closely related and Dr. Medvedev will investigate their connections using first principles of theoretical analysis, dedicated numerical simulation, and comparison with observational data.Broader impacts of the work include training of graduate and undergraduate students, and outreach via development of an internet resource which will explain to non-experts the ideas and the current status of the physics of collisionless shocks and relevant processes such as radiation emission and particle acceleration in application to gamma-ray bursts.

该项目的目标是扩大我们对高能天体物理现象的理解，如粒子加速和辐射发射，应用于伽马射线暴（GRB），这是宇宙中已知的最具活力的事件之一。 所涉及的物理过程是密切相关的，梅德韦杰夫博士将使用理论分析的第一原理，专门的数值模拟和与观测数据的比较来研究它们之间的联系。这项工作的更广泛的影响包括对研究生和本科生的培训，通过开发互联网资源进行外联，专家们介绍了无碰撞冲击物理学和相关过程的想法和现状，如辐射发射和粒子加速在伽马射线爆发中的应用。
