Abstract
In our model, the acceleration and propagation of particles from the Bohm-like diffusion region inside the SNR to the Galactic diffusion region outside the SNR are described through nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration (NLDSA). The main content of our NLDSA model is to solve the hydrodynamic equations numerically for gas density, gas velocity, gas pressure as well as the equation for the quasi-isotropic particle momentum distribution. The consequent multi-band non-thermal emission is from two different regions, namely the acceleration region and the escaping region. Our model is capable of explaining the multi-band photon emission via the dominant synchrotron radiation of the electrons accelerated inside the SNR; and the photons with energy of GeV are naturally produced by the protons inside and outside the SNR. Moreover, the photons in the energy range of TeV are due to the interaction of escaped protons with dense molecular clouds. For the photons with energy of 1 GeV from SNR G106.3+2.7, our results here favor a hadronic origin, where the photons in the energy range of GeV to TeV are produced inside the SNR through proton-proton interaction, while the photons with TeV originate from the interaction of escaped protons with a dense molecular cloud.
