摘要:

扩散激波加速的过程依赖于磁流体波能够散射激波前体中的带电粒子的功效。自生波的增长由共振和非共振过程驱动。我们进行高分辨率的磁流体动力学模拟的非共振宇宙线驱动的不稳定性,其中不稳定波被激发超出线性制度。在所得场的快照中,进行粒子输运模拟。考虑到粒子的拉莫尔周期相对于不稳定性增长时间通常非常短,使用场的静态快照是合理的。扩散速率被发现是接近,或低于,玻姆极限的范围内的能量。这提供了第一个明确的证明,自激湍流降低了扩散系数,并对超新星遗迹中的宇宙射线传输和加速具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

The process of diffusive shock acceleration relies on the efficacy with which hydromagnetic waves can scatter charged particles in the precursor of a shock. The growth of self-generated waves is driven by both resonant and non-resonant processes. We perform high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the non-resonant cosmic-ray driven instability, in which the unstable waves are excited beyond the linear regime. In a snapshot of the resultant field, particle transport simulations are carried out. The use of a static snapshot of the field is reasonable given that the Larmor period for particles is typically very short relative to the instability growth time. The diffusion rate is found to be close to, or below, the Bohm limit for a range of energies. This provides the first explicit demonstration that self-excited turbulence reduces the diffusion coefficient and has important implications for cosmic ray transport and acceleration in supernova remnants.
