The maximum momentum of the particles accelerated at interplanetary shock with free scattering probability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scattering time is an important factor which is connected with the maximum energy particle in the diffusive shock. In present simulations, the maximum momentum is calculated by allowing us to determine the scattering probability by scattering time in the scattering processes. We obtain the shape of the energy spectrum with cutoff at some maximum momentum. Also, we find that the value of the maximum energy particle would not increase as the scattering probability increases. This fact would imply that there would be a critical value of the scattering probability between the thermal mechanism and the non-thermal mechanism in the diffusive shock acceleration. Maybe it can explain the ”break” characteristic of the energy spectrum observed from the

Numerical Studies of the Solar Energetic Particle Transport and Acceleration
Solar energetic particles often get accelerated to energies up to few GeV at interplanetary shock waves driven by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and are of considerable importance for space weather studies because they can produce radiation hazards for manned or unmanned spacecraft. Particles accelerated at the shock wave can escape upstream and downstream into the interplanetary medium. As the ...
متن کاملA general solution to non-linear particle acceleration at non-relativistic shock waves
Diffusive acceleration at collisionless shock waves remains one of the most promising acceleration mechanisms for the description of the origin of cosmic rays at all energies. A crucial ingredient to be taken into account is the reaction of accelerated particles on the shock, which in turn determines the efficiency of the process. Here we propose a semi-analytical kinetic method that allows us ...
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 کاملThe maximum momentum of particles accelerated at cosmic ray modified shocks
Particle acceleration at non-relativistic shocks can be very efficient, leading to the appearance of non-linear effects due to the dynamical reaction of the accelerated particles on the shock structure and to the non-linear amplification of the magnetic field in the shock vicinity. The value of the maximum momentum pmax in these circumstances cannot be estimated using the classical results obta...

Introduction: Heavy ions are nucleus of elements of iron, argon, carbon and neon that all carry positive electrical charges. For these particles to be useful in radiotherapy they need to accelerated to high energy by more than thousand mega volts. Also the cosmic environment is considered to be a complicated mixture of highly energetic photons and heavy ions such as iron. Therefore, the health ...
