Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) of cosmic rays in collisionless shocksstrongly depends on parameters of the turbulent magnetic field that allowsthe shock to form. Mechanisms of production of this field are still notunderstood, but recent observations suggest that interstellar magneticfields may be strongly amplified in SNR shocks. While a completedescription of magnetic turbulence generation is only possible withparticle-in-cell (PIC) simulations (which are limited due to computationalcostliness), nonlinear Monte Carlo simulations of DSA can approximate theprocess and provide more realistic estimates of magnetic field strengththan current analytic solutions. Presented in the poster are modelsdescribing the self-consistent amplification to very high values ofmagnetic field by cosmic rays in interstellar shocks.
