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 کاملCosmological shock waves
Large-scale structure formation, accretion and merging processes, AGN activity produce cosmological gas shocks. The shocks convert a fraction of the energy of gravitationally accelerated flows to internal energy of the gas. Being the main gas-heating agent, cosmological shocks could amplify magnetic fields and accelerate energetic particles via the multi-fluid plasma relaxation processes. We fi...
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 کاملCosmic Ray Acceleration at Relativistic Shock Waves
Theory of the first-order Fermi acceleration of cosmic ray particles at relativistic shock waves is reviewed. We consider shocks with parallel and oblique, suband super-luminal magnetic field configurations and with finite-amplitude magnetic field perturbations. A role of oblique field configurations and field perturbations in forming the cosmic ray energy spectrum and changing the acceleration...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at High-γ Shock Waves
First-order Fermi acceleration processes at ultrarelativistic (γ ∼ 5-30) shocks are studied with the method of Monte Carlo simulations. The accelerated particle spectra are obtained by integrating the exact particle trajectories in a turbulent magnetic field near the shock. The magnetic field model assumes finite-amplitude perturbations within a wide wavevector range and with a predefined wave ...
