Cosmic ray acceleration at relativistic shocks, shear layers, .

M. Ostrowski

摘要:

本文综述了相对论激波下宇宙线一阶费米加速的理论结果,最近的结果大大改变了对这些过程的现有认识。特别是不能期望这样的冲击形成延伸到非常高能量的粒子分布。相反,通常会产生激波压缩注入成分后或多或少延伸的高能尾部的分布。激波洛伦兹因子的增加导致能量尾变陡。在天鹅座A热点的实际电子光谱的观测检查提供了明显偏离标准预期的结果。该光谱由一个非常平坦的低能量部分(σ ~1.5)到电子能量~1 GeV,和一个陡峭得多的部分(σ> 3)在更高的能量。最后,我们评论费米二级过程中的相对论等离子体,可能是非常高的能量宇宙射线的主要加速剂。

英文摘要:

A review of theoretical results on cosmic ray first-order Fermi acceleration at relativistic shock waves is presented, with recent results substantially changing the existing knowledge on these processes. In particular one can not expect such shocks to form particle distributions extending to very high energies. Instead, distributions with the shock compressed injected component followed by a more or less extended high energy tail are usually created. Increasing the shock Lorentz factor leads to steepening of the energetic tail. An observational check of real electron spectra in the Cyg A hot spots provides results clearly deviating from the standard expectations. The spectrum consist of a very flat low energy part (sigma ~1.5)up to electron energies ~1 GeV, and a much steeper part (sigma > 3)at higher energies. We conclude with remarks on the Fermi second-order processes acting in relativistic plasmas, possibly the main accelerating agent for very high energy cosmic rays.
