12 The hidden power engine: Shocks in jets
13 Supersonic/superalfvenic strong compression waves change gas/plasma s v, d, p, T - Collisional shocks (ordinary fluid) - Colissionless astrophysical shocks: In diffuse regions of space, low densities, large bulk speeds Marcher et al. 08 Tregillis, Jones & Ryu 01
14 Shock-magnetic field inclinations y z -z y
15 Jump (Rankine-Hugoniot) conditions y u1 u2 For a stationary HD shock (1D) z Rankine (1870), Hugoniot (1887) Parker (1965), Hudson (1965), Parks (1984), etc
16 Lorentz frame transformations: The de Hoffmann-Teller frame in oblique shocks -x +x -z y1 V B -z -x +x = 0 Quasi-parallel Vs Quasi-perprendicular Sub- Vs Super-luminal shocks Physical causality: The Lorentz transformation is limited due to VHT V1 tany1 (de Hoffmann&Teller 54)
17 Particle shock acceleration mechanism No doubt collisionless astrophysical shocks accelerate particles Convincing evidence for efficient acceleration in heliospheric shocks and in young SNRs
18 The Fermi mechanism Transfer of the macroscopic kinetic energy of moving magnetized plasma to individual charged particles non-thermal distribution Second order Fermi acceleration (Fermi 49, magnetic clouds First order Fermi acceleration - diffusive acceleration (Krymskii 77, Bell 78, Blandford&Ostriker 78, Axford et al. plasma shocks
19 1 st order Fermi acceleration Non-relativistic shocks Test particle - diffusion - n acceleration shock cycles E n n x 1 E0 Energy gain: fraction of initial energy E E E0 x E 0 Average energy gain per collision: E / E (2V / c) Leading to a power-law energy behaviour i n n( E) 1 P N( E) E esc... = (r+2)/(r-1), r = V1/V2 = (g+1) / ( g-1) for mono-atomic gas: g =5/3 r = 4 E -2 (e.g. Krymskii 77, Bell 78a,b, Drury 83, etc) Upstream Downstream Note: For relativistic shocks V~c and particle distributions are not isotropic across reference frames difficult analytically
20 Acceleration time scale & diffusion The acceleration rate wins in competition with the time scale of the energy losses and the escape rate, defining the limit for the possible highest energies to be achieved. Acceleration rate: One cycle: (E)=(E cycle ) /DE= [3/(V 1 -V 2 ) ]( 1 /V /V 2 ) (Drury 83) Confinement distance cycle (E)= (4/c )( 1 /V /V 2 ) Diffusion coefficient: =(1/3) (Quenby & Meli 02) i.e. Proton 10GeV: about 10²² cm²/s cycle about 10 4 sec
21 Facts for non-relativistic shock acceleration: Particles are everywhere in isotropy and the diffusive approximation for solution of the transport equation can apply Spectral index independent of: inclination, scattering nature, strength of magnetic field Concepts are well understood and well studied - they work nicely as a comparison basis for relativistic studies
22 Modeling relativistic shock acceleration
23 Four techniques Semi-analytic (simplified) solutions to diffusion-convection equation (e.g. Eichler 84, Berezhko & Ellison 99, Blasi & Gabici 02-05, etc) Numerical solutions to diffusion-convection equation with flow hydrodynamics & momentum dependent diffusion (e.g. Berezhko, Voelk et al. 96, Kang & Jones 91-05, Malkov 97-01, etc) Monte Carlo simulations (!) (e.g. Ellison et al , Baring 03-05, Meli & Quenby etc) Particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulations (e.g. Nishikawa et al. 05, Dieckmann, Meli et al. 08, 09, Meli&Dieckmann 10)
24 Monte Carlo technique Random number generation simulation of the random nature of a physical process (Cashwell & Everett 59) Powerful tool large dynamic ranges in spatial and momentum scales Notion of test particles - very efficient & very fast in describing particle random walks - large number of particles Scattering can be treated via pitch angle diffusion approach (e.g. Kennel & Petscheck 66, Forman et al. 74, Jokipii 87, Quenby & Meli 05, Meli & Biermann 06) 2 cos y sin 2 y (!) Particles scatter as (Kennel&Petscheck 66): Fully relativistic Lorentzian transformations
25 Simulation studies on relativistic shocks: flow speed, inclination, scattering
26 θ Bn = 0 Ellison et al. 90 Spectrum flattens with velocity Spectrum depends on the scattering type magnetic field configurations Large angle scattering yields kinematically structured distributions Baring 04 Note: Universal power-law of -2.2 (e.g Achterberg et al 01, etc) only for fine scattering & parallel relativistic shocks!

30 Applications to UHECR & extragalactic astronomy
31 Superluminal shocks Superluminal (highly oblique) shock Scattering : q p G 5 G 50 G 100 y 85 o Superluminal (highly oblique) shock Scattering : 1/G q 10/G G 50 G 10 G 100 Y 85 G 10 G 20 G 500 G 1000 y 85 o 2.7 < < 2.2 No power-law! Meli & Quenby 05 Meli, Becker, Quenby 08 Superluminal shocks not efficient accelerators
32 Subluminal shocks Subluminal (oblique) shocks Scattering : 1/G q 10/G Subluminal shocks Efficient (flat) accelerators Meli, Becker, Quenby 08 Meli, Becker & Quenby 08
33 Diffuse UHECR spectrum Gamma Ray Bursts or Active Galactic Nuclei? - We focus on hadronic nature: This source proton spectra can be translated into an expected diffuse proton flux from astrophysical sources by folding the spectra with the spatial distribution of the sources (Meli et al., 08, 09): - Adiabatic energy losses are taken into account - AGN & GRBs follow the star formation rate to determine the number density evolution with co-moving volume - Absorption of protons due to the interactions with the CMBR at Ep > ev (Auger) - Normalization of the overall spectrum as measured at Earth is achieved using observations
34 The total spectrum as observed at Earth Assumption: UHECRs come from AGN contribute a fraction 0 x 1 and for GRBs 1-x with 0.001<z<7 (main contribution: z~1-2 high no.of sources) The The diffuse diffuse energy energy spectrum spectrum of sources, of sources, compared multiplied to by the an total E 2.7, diffuse compared spectrum to the total diffuse spectrum. Dots and squares correspond to Hires and Auger data. (Meli, Becker, Quenby 08) Yet again, flat spectra, recent confirmation: GRB090816c E E -2.0 (Meli et al. 09)
35 Conclusions High energy cosmic ray acceleration in astrophysical shocks is a favourable and attractive theme of study (especially numerically) Relativistic shocks: Power-law spectrum and of -2.2 not universal! (observations confirm) Relativistic shocks can generate very high energy cosmic rays with a multitude of spectral forms, power-law incides dependent on shock parameters: flow speed, inclination and scattering properties : Faster shocks generate flatter primary distributions: - Subluminal shocks (quasi-parallel) efficient accelerators ~10 21 ev - Superluminal (quasi-perpendicular) shocks not efficient ~10 15 ev LAS q p : flatter distributions PAD q p : steeper distributions (but still flat) Important implications to gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy!
