Synchrotron-limited Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Shearing Flows
Numerical solutions of the shear acceleration transport equation with synchrotron losses show mildly relativistic AGN jets can accelerate electrons beyond Lorentz factor 10^8, with an effective cutoff scaling as gamma_eff ~ gamma_e,max / gamma_b0^3.
