Description
We recently proposed that cosmic rays between the knee and ankle can be produced in young compact stellar clusters. This relies on the efficient production of turbulent magnetic fields in the cluster core, and a fast shock launched from the explosion of a massive star. Some preliminary numerical simulations to expl0re these ideas will be presented. Laboratory experiments using high-power lasers could be exploited to provide additional insight.
