Acceleration time scale in an ultrarelativistic shock
The acceleration mechanism at ultrarelativistic shocks is investigated using the Monte Carlo simulations. We apply a method of discrete small amplitude particle momentum scattering to reproduce highly anisotropic conditions at the shock and carefully describe the acceleration mechanism. The obtained acceleration times equal 1.0 rg/c if the spectral index reach the value of 2.2, independent of p...
متن کاملAcceleration time scale at ultrarelativistic shock waves
The first-order cosmic ray acceleration at ultrarelativistic shocks is investigated using the Monte Carlo method. We apply a method of discrete particle momentum scattering as a model of particle pitch angle diffusion to reproduce highly anisotropic conditions at the shock wave. Shocks with Lorentz factors γ up to 320 and varying magnetic field inclinations ψ are considered. Values of diffusion...
متن کاملAcceleration time scale for the first - order Fermi acceleration in relativistic shock waves
The acceleration time scale for the process of first-order Fermi acceleration in rela-tivistic shock waves with oblique magnetic field configurations is investigated by the method of Monte Carlo particle simulations. We discuss the differences in derivation of the cosmic ray acceleration time scale for non-relativistic and relativistic shocks. We demonstrate the presence of correlation between ...
متن کاملTidal Acceleration of Ultrarelativistic Particles
We investigate the motion of free relativistic particles relative to the ambient medium around a gravitationally collapsed system. If the relative speed exceeds a critical value given by c/ √ 2, the gravitational tidal effects exhibit novel features that are contrary to Newtonian expectations. In particular, ultrarelativistic jet clumps moving freely outward along the rotation axis strongly dec...
متن کاملCosmic rays acceleration at ultrarelativistic subshocks
We present the model of cosmic rays acceleration at ultrarelativistic subshocks and confront it with the observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and blazars. We investigate cosmic rays acceleration in shocks with Lorentz factors (γ) in the range 3 40. We show that fluctuations of the magnetic field downstream of the shock do not play an important role in the acceleration process. Results of num...
