Abstract
The problem of Cosmic Ray (CR) origin and acceleration is a widely discussed problem of modern astrophysics. It is considered that most likely CR sources are supernova remnant shock waves. One of the methods to study particle injection and acceleration by shock waves is a particle-in-cell computer simulation. In this paper we present results of shock wave simulations based on our self-developed implicit particle-in-cell code. First, we test the code with the well-known two stream and Weibel instabilities and second, simulate shock waves in plasma with different particle composition. Using the obtained results we study the process of charged particle acceleration at the shock front.
