Description

The intra cluster medium is a dynamically active environment, in which dissipation of large motions and acceleration of cosmic rays are likely ubiquitous processes. I will review the present theoretical uncertainties and firm conclusions on cosmic rays in the intra cluster medium, coming from broad-band observations and the updated cosmological numerical modelling of these systems.
