6 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Possible mechanisms suggested by Ellison & Ramaty (1985) l shock thickness ~ κ/u energy is too low l drift over shock width rollover at ~ 100 MeV/Q l finite time for shock acceleration considered here (see also: Klecker et al. 1981; Lee 1983) Why do ESP spectra roll over at ~ MeV/n? (data - see also: Gosling et al. 1981; van Nes et al. 1985)
7 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Finite-Time Shock Acceleration Probability approach (like Bell 1978, Drury 1983) Acceleration rate, r = 1/Δt Escape rate, Time at present (age of shock), t Simulation parameters: λ = λ 0 (P/ MV) α so vary λ 0 and α (shorter λ 0 is equivalent to longer time duration) Time t fixed by observations, v 0 = 200 km/s in wind frame, shock angles & speeds as observed.
8 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA We solve the PDE … … discretized as a system of ODEs Initial & inflow conditions correspond to the observed ambient seed spectrum

10 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA We use the FTSA model to fit 3 ESP events from the sample of Desai et al. (2004):
11 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Event #3: λ 0 = 0.24 AU, α = 0.18 λ is consistent with typical IP values FTSA rollover is at lower E, minor accel. of seed population
12 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Event #2: λ 0 = AU, α = 0.10 λ is smaller but not inconsistent with IP values FTSA rollover is at lower E, moderate accel. of seed population
13 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Event #1: λ 0 = 4.0x10 -3 AU, α = 0.07 λ at shock is much lower than typical IP values … … as expected for proton-amplified waves [Ng et al. 1999] model rollover is sharper than observed, probably due to use of spatially const. λ
14 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Fe/O ratios Fe/O lower at shock, due to higher λ for Fe model does not match observed trend for Event 2 expect trend vs. E like seed population above the rollover
15 July 14, SHINE WorkshopKeauhou, Hawaii, USA Conclusions on ESP spectra … 1. Finite-time shock acceleration model power law spectrum at low energy faster dropoff at high energy 2. Expect E c /A ∞ t 2/(α+1) (Q/A) 2α/(α+1) 3. For 3 events, able to simultaneously fit measurements of C, O, and Fe ions 4. Fits to weak events: Infer λ as typical IP values 5. Fit to strong event: Infer much lower λ, consistent with expectations for proton-amplified waves
