Diffusive shock acceleration of CRs Overall particle energy spectrum in/near acceleration region * Coupled ion acceleration and Alfven wave excitation at an expanding coronal shock E. Berezhko and S. Taneev Yu.G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy Yakutsk, Russia Main question: What is a role of selfexcited Alfven waves in Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) production by CME driven shock? Solar Energetic Particles = Solar Cosmic Rays (SCRs) Remark: SH 0125 11.08.12 17:30-19:30 SEP event characteristics Miroshnichenko Perez-Peraza, 2008 log nCR log p p-? ? = (? + 2)/(? -1) shock compression ratio Krymsky 1977 Bell 1978 Δp scattering centers Cutoff due to finite shock size or due to restricted system age Intensity of energetic particles, measured by distinct observer Sun CME Vp Vs Shock w Solar wind Earth I t flare shock ε1 ε2 ε3 ε1 ε2 ε3 freshly accelerated particles, g 0.1 Coronal Mass Ejection driven shock escaping particles SCRs, g 0.1 Rs Modulation parameter: Berezhko, Krymsky (1987) SCRs Zank, Rice, Wu (2000): Solar wind (RS 20RSun),”onion-shell” plane wave approach, assumed efficient Alfven wave excitation leading to Bohm limit diffusion. εmax ~ 100 MeV Ng, Reames, Tylka (2003): Solar wind (RS 10RSun ), focused upstream transport of SCRs with their ad hoc source term, Alfven wave excitation by SCRs in upstream region Rice, Zank, Li (2003): Solar wind (RS 20RSun),”onion-shell” plane wave approach, upstream Alfven wave intensity according to quasilinear model (Gordon et al.1999) εmax ~ (1- 10) MeV ( too small !)
