Very high energy particles are known to be produced in various                  astronomical objects observed at different wavelengths.  These                  particles must be accelerated in some way.  One way is to                       accelerate them with a shock wave from some explosion somewhere in              the source.  There has been considerable theoretical research done              on diffusive shock acceleration.  The theory can now be used with               some confidence to model nonthermal particle distributions in                   realistic astrophysical conditions.                                                                                                                             The research program will focus on the acceleration of particles                in the Sun, active galactic nuclei, accreting neutron stars, and                supernovae.  The predictions of the models will be compared with                ground-based and satellite-based observations.
