Non-linear Particle Acceleration in Oblique Shocks
The solution of the non-linear diffusive shock acceleration problem, where the pressure of the non-thermal population is sufficient to modify the shock hydrodynamics, is widely recognized as a key to understanding particle acceleration in a variety of astrophysical environments. We have developed a Monte Carlo technique for self-consistently calculating the hydrodynamic structure of oblique, st...
متن کاملNonlinear Particle Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks
Monte Carlo techniques are used to model nonlinear particle acceleration in parallel collisionless shocks of various speeds, including mildly relativistic ones. When the acceleration is efficient, the backreaction of accelerated particles modifies the shock structure and causes the compression ratio, r, to increase above test-particle values. Modified shocks with Lorentz factors, γ0 . 3, can ha...
متن کاملNonlinear Particle Acceleration at Reverse Shocks in Supernova Remnants
Without amplification, magnetic fields in expanding ejecta of young supernova remnants (SNRs) will be orders of magnitude below those required to shock accelerate thermal electrons, or ions, to relativistic energies or to produce radio synchrotron emission at the reverse shock. The reported observations of such emission give support to the idea that diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) can amplif...
متن کاملEfficiency of Nonlinear Particle Acceleration at Cosmic Structure Shocks
We have calculated the evolution of cosmic ray (CR) modified astrophysical shocks for a wide range of shock Mach numbers and shock speeds through numerical simulations of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) in 1D quasi-parallel plane shocks. The simulations include thermal leakage injection of seed CRs, as well as pre-existing, upstream CR populations. Bohm-like diffusion is assumed. We model sh...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration at Relativistic Shocks
I review the current status of Fermi acceleration theory at relativistic shocks. I first discuss the relativistic shock jump conditions, then describe the nonrelativistic Fermi mechanism and the differences introduced by relativistic flows. I present numerical calculations of the accelerated particle spectrum, and examine the maximum energy attainable by this process. I briefly consider the min...
