  9. Why do we care about the CRs? - CRs are ubiquitous in astrophysical plasma. • heliosphere (solar system) solar wind, interplanetary shocks - ISM of our Galaxy ECR~ EB ~ Egas ~ECMBR ~ 10-12 erg/cm3 dynamically important in the ISM of galaxies sources: SNRs, stellar wind (OB stars), pulsars - ICM inside clusters of galaxies (and large scale structure) ECR,e ~ 0.01 Ethermal, ECR,p ~ Etheremal,EB ~ Ekinetic ~ 0.1 Ethermal sources: AGNs, galactic winds, turbulence, structure shocks May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  10. Origins of cosmic rays in large scale structures * cosmological shock waves - fresh injection/acceleration of protons and electrons (diffusive shock acceleration (DSA): Fermi first order process) - re-acceleration of CR electrons and protons (pre-existing or ejected by radio galaxies and etc …) (in relic radio ghosts) • secondary electrons generated by CR protons + ICM (CR p + p → p + p + p, p± → m± → e± & po → g-rays ) *stochastic acceleration by the ICM turbulence *AGNs, galatic winds, and etc May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  11. “Hillas Plot” for some plausible accelerators (after Hillas 1984) confinement and acceleration: Emax = Z ba B R B Emax: highest possible energy Z: charge of the CR particle Va/c = ba : speed of accelerator B: magnetic field strength R: size of accelerator B R = Emax /(Z ba ) = 1020 eV R May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  12. Collisionless astrophysical shocks - collisionless shocks form in low density astrophysical plasmas via EM viscosities (i.e. collective interactions btw particles and underlying B field) - incomplete “thermalization”→ non-Maxwellian tail → suprathermal particles : leak upstream of shock → streaming CRs induce MHD waves - accelerated to higher E via Fermi first order process - CRs are byproducts of collisionless shock formation May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  13. shock front particle u1 u2 downstream upstream shock rest frame the key ideas behind DSA (diffusive shock acceleration) - Alfven waves in a converging flow act as converging mirrors → particles are scattered by waves → cross the shock many times “Fermi first order process” energy gain at each crossing converging mirrors May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  14. simplest prediction of DSA theory - when non-linear feedback due to CR pressure is insignificant • test particle theory:f(p) ~ p-q or N(E) ~ E-q+2 universal power-law q = 3r/(r-1) (r = r2/r1=u1/u2compression ratio across the shock) determined solely by the shock Mach number - for strong gas shock (large M): r → 4 (g = 5/3 for gas adiabatic index) q → 4, f(p) dp= f0 p-4 dp or N(E)dE = N0 E-2 dE synchrotron jn ~ n-a , a = (q - 3)/2 → 0.5 spectral index ~ similar to observed values of “q” and “a” But DSA is very efficient, CR pressure is significant → nonlinear feedback of diffusive CRs to the shock structure May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea

  15. 1D Plane Shock simulations of DSA acceleration t=0 CR modified shocks - presusor + subshock - reduced Pg • enhanced compression time evolution ofthe Ms = 5shock structure at t = 0, pure gasdynamic shock with Pc = 0. no simple shock jump condition → need numerical simulations to calculate the CR acceleration efficiency precursor (Kang, Jones & Gieseler 2002) May 17-19, 2006 4th Korean Astrophysics Workshop KASI, Korea
