Description

We present cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters following the distribution of cosmic rays as they are injected, accelerated, and transported. Implications for X-ray, radio, and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect observations are discussed, in particular in the context of constraining ICM plasma properties near shock fronts.
