Diffusive Shock Acceleration and Reconnection Acceleration Processes
Shock waves, as shown by simulations and observations, can generate high levels of downstream vortical turbulence, including magnetic islands. We consider a combination of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) and downstream magnetic-island-reconnection-related processes as an energization mechanism for charged particles. Observations of electron and ion distributions downstream of interplanetary ...
متن کاملSmall-Angle Scattering and Diffusion: Application to Relativistic Shock Acceleration
We investigate ways of accurately simulating the propagation of energetic charged particles over small times where the standard Monte Carlo approximation to diffusive transport breaks down. We find that a small-angle scattering procedure with appropriately chosen step-lengths and scattering angles gives accurate results, and we apply this to the simulation of propagation upstream in relativisti...
متن کاملNonlinear Shock Acceleration beyond the Bohm Limit
We suggest a physical mechanism whereby the acceleration time of cosmic rays (CRs) by shock waves can be significantly reduced. This creates the possibility of particle acceleration beyond the knee energy at!10 eV. The acceleration results from a nonlinear modification of the flow ahead of the shock supported by particles already accelerated to the kneemomentum at p ! p". The particles gain ene...
متن کاملDiffusive shock acceleration in radiation dominated environments
Context. Radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations provide us with strong evidence of particle acceleration to multi-TeV energies in various astrophysical sources. Diffusive shock acceleration is one of the most successful models explaining the presence of such high-energy particles. Aims. We discuss the impact of inverse Compton losses on the shock acceleration of electrons that takes place in ...
متن کاملBifurcation, efficiency, and the role of injection in shock acceleration with the Bohm diffusion
The efficiency and uniqueness of the diffusive shock acceleration is studied on the basis of the novel kinetic solutions. These solutions obtained earlier (paper I) selfconsistently describe a strong coupling of cosmic rays with the gas flow. They show that the dependence of the acceleration efficiency upon physical parameters is critical in nature. In this paper we investigate a steady acceler...
