New Signatures of Galactic Interactions?

It has been shown that galactic interaction and mergers can result
in large-scale tidal shocks that propagate through interstellar
gas. As a result, this can give rise to a new population of cosmic
rays, additional to standard galactic cosmic rays present in
star-forming galaxies. presence of such cosmic-ray population
would directly affect our understanding of thermal and non-thermal
emission budget in such systems as well as the abundances of
"cosmic dosimeters". If all these effects could be identified and
quantified they could be used as signatures of galactic
interactions, possibly even at higher redshifts which could have
far reaching consequences on our understanding of galactic
formation and evolution
