Acceleration of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the kiloparsec-scale jets of nearby radio galaxies
Simulations show that stochastic shear acceleration in the turbulent sheath of a mildly relativistic kiloparsec-scale jet can accelerate protons to near the Hillas limit, suggesting Centaurus A and FR II jets as UHECR sources.
