Scientific paper

The dependence of the maximum energy cosmic rays can reach via diffusive shock acceleration in active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets on flow speeds is discussed. It is shown that in highly inclined termination shocks where the speed of the de Hoffman-Teller frame is crucial, a good independent knowledge of the jet speed is required to properly assess the extent of the cosmic ray spectrum.
