With excellent spatial resolution of the X-ray satellite Chandra, we discovered synchrotron X-rays in the supernova remnant SN 1006, which concentrate on very thin filamental structure. In order to illustrate the thin filaments with diffusive shock acceleration mechanism (DSA), we need (I) perpendicular magnetic field to the shock normal with the strength of interstellar magnetic field or (II) very compressed parallel one. This method is a new approach to understanding the DSA.
