Fast Particle Acceleration at Perpendicular Shocks with Uniform Upstream Magnetic Field and Strong Downstream Turbulence
arXiv:2004.01622 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ab959a
Abstract
The shock waves produce relativistic particles via the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) mechanism. Among various circumstances, fast acceleration has been expected for perpendicular shocks. We investigate the acceleration time and the energy spectrum of particles accelerated at a perpendicular shock. In our model, the upstream perpendicular magnetic field has no fluctuation, and the downstream region is highly turbulent. Then, the particle motion is the gyration in the upstream region and Bohm-like diffusion downstream. Under this situation, we derive an analytical form of the acceleration time. Using test particle simulations, the validity of our formula is verified. In addition, the energy spectrum of particles is the same as those predicted by standard DSA. Therefore, presently proposed mechanism simultaneously realizes the rapid acceleration and the canonical spectrum, , even if there is no upstream magnetic amplification.
