Popis:	We extend calculations of the shock acceleration mechanism applied to blazar jets. Electrons, assumed to undergo Bohm diffusion, are accelerated by the shock and radiate by synchrotron and inverse Compton scattering. We study the spectral variations in the X-ray and TeV regime as a function of flux and show that it can reproduce both the soft and the hard lags observed.
