Compared to the cooling break, the index changes seem large. can be hard to be generated by simple shock acceleration! magnetic reconnection but will efficiently work and generate hard spectra in matter-dominated conditions?! stochastic (Fermi-II) acceleration still a few studies. e.g.,! à Mkn421 (Asano+14) à 3C 279 (Asano&MH+15)!
