We Investigate particle acceleration and X-ray emission by strong plasma turbulence produced by the relaxation of an energetic ion ring distribution. Such distributions are produced as a result of ion reflection from perpendicular shock structures and may have been observed in a Supernova remnant. Ion ring distributions are frequently observed at the earth's bow shock and in comets and have been invoked to explain particle acceleration in solar flares. The ion ring distribution is unstable to the generation of low frequency modes such as lower-hybrid waves which are capable of accelerating electrons and ions to high energies. The electrons are accelerated parallel to the ambient magnetic field and are responsible for X-ray emission by bremsstrahling. These accelerated particles could be injection population for acceleration to cosmic ray energies.
