Maximum synchrotron frequency for shock-accelerated particles
P. Kumar, R. A. Hernández, Z. Bosnjak +1
It is widely believed that the maximum energy of synchrotron photons when electrons are accelerated in shocks via the Fermi process is about 50 MeV (in plasma comoving frame). We s…

Inverse Compton cooling in Klein-Nishina regime and GRB prompt spectrum
R. Barniol Duran, Z. Bosnjak, P. Kumar
Synchrotron radiation mechanism, when electrons are accelerated in a relativistic shock, is known to have serious problems to explain the observed gamma-ray spectrum below the peak…
