1. What is High-Energy Astrophysics?
   - cosmic rays, solar flares, collisionless highly magnetised plasma
   - non-thermal particle energy spectra and non-thermal radiative processes
   - astrophysical sources of high-energy emission and particles
   - multi-messenger approach
2. Radiative transfer
   - basic concepts and definitions
   - relativistic beaming
3. Leptonic emission processes
   - synchrotron emission
   - inverse-Compton emission
   - thermal and non-thermal bremsstrahlung
   - photon-photon pair creation
4. Hadronic emission processes
   - proton-proton pion production
   - photo-meson production
5. Turbulent acceleration
   - Fermi process
   - kinetic equation for the particle energy evolution
   - waves in ideal MHD; particle-waves interactions
   - diffusion approximation
6. Shock acceleration
   - shocks in astrophysics
   - advection/diffusion equation for the particle energy evolution
