Description

We revisit the acceleration of particles at the interface between a collimated laminar jet and the ambient medium. The contrast between standard diffusive scattering treatments and anomalous transport in synthetic field constructions is explored. A particular emphasis is placed on the necessity for physically consistent particle transport considerations. The temporal, spatial and spectral features of the process are discussed in the context of potential UHECR production and further observational consequences.
