Abstract:
A versatile numerical method is developed to simulate the time dependent particle acceleration in shocks and the non-thermal photon emission thereof. Our method is based on Itô's stochastic differential equations coupled with a particle splitting. This method is applied to photon emission from young supernova remnants.
