Summary • Physics of AGN jets are being much clear thanks to previous • ASCA/BeppoSAX/RXTE, but nature of large scale X-ray jets is • still open, even after advent of Chandra/XMM. • Many of jet physics will be deeply probed in NeXT decade. • CR acceleration and what is collisionless shock? • GRB physics is also still unclear, especially for prompt emission. • Important hints on the field and formation of relativistic jets. Future observations with XEUS/NeXT… and GLAST etc will give us a clear answer of “what is the jet?”
