Don Ellison, NCSU Consider efficient production of Cosmic Rays by Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) in SNRs DSA is also called the first-order Fermi mechanism Many 100’s of references. Some review papers: Axford 1981; Drury 1983; Blandford & Eichler 1987; Jones & Ellison 1991; Berezhko & Ellison 1999; Malkov & Drury 2001; Bykov 2004; Bykov et al 2011, 2012, 2013 Discovery papers for first-order Fermi mechanism in shocks: Krymskii (1976), Axford, Leer & Skadron (1977), Bell (1978), Blandford & Ostriker (1978) Particle acceleration in Collisionless Shocks So called “Universal” test-particle power law for particles (in a strong shock) If particles are fully relativistic:

DSA not obvious for RS unless B-field strongly amplified Spherically symmetric: No clumpy structure for now (Note Yamazaki’s talk)
7
Don Ellison, NCSU Main effects from DSA that influence SNR hydrodynamics : 1)Nonthermal particles (i.e., swept-up ISM or ejecta) are turned into relativistic CRs by DSA. This lowers specific heat ratio (5/3 4/3) 2)Some of the highest energy CRs will escape upstream from the forward shock. This also lowers specific heat ratio (4/3 1) Effects (1) and (2) cause the shock compression ratio to increase above r = 4 (find typical values with efficient DSA : r ~ 5 - 10 ) 3) If DSA is efficient, to conserve energy, temperature of shocked gas MUST decrease below value expected without CR production SNR shocks that efficiently produce CRs will have large compression ratios and low shocked temperatures Production of CRs influences SNR hydrodynamics & thermal X-ray emission
8
►For strong shocks, “universal power law” diverges unless acceleration stopped by finite size or finite age. Diverges for strong shocks with compression ratio r 4 “Universal” power law diverges for r = 4 In strong shocks, CRs must modify the shock, and some of the highest energy CRs must escape if acceleration is efficient strong nonlinear effects Test-particle power law hardens with increasing comp. ratio, r
9
What happens to the test-particle prediction when nonlinear effects are taken into account? First: Collisionless plasmas :
10
NGC 2736: The Pencil Nebula Hydrogen emission SN 1006 Thin structures are possible because wave-particle interactions produce short mfp for particle isotropization Collisionless plasmas : We see “thin” structures in solar wind and ISM : e.g., planetary bow shocks and SNR shocks The length scale of these structures must be many orders of magnitude smaller than the collisional mean-free-path
11
Uniform B Charged particle, helix, no “ B/B scattering” Particle-particle collisions are rare
12
Uniform B Charged particle, helix, no “ B/B scattering” Particle-particle collisions are rare Turbulent B If particle flux large enough, particles will distort the field :
13
Uniform B Charged particle, helix, no “ B/B scattering” Particle-particle collisions are rare Turbulent B Particles pitch-angle scatter and turn around can define a collisionless mean free path. This “collision” is nearly elastic in frame of B-field If particle flux large enough, particles will distort the field :
14
In collision-dominated plasmas, particle-particle collisions drive the plasma to thermal equilibrium. If an individual particle gets more energy than average, it will immediately transfer energy via collisions to slower particles scatterings are Inelastic I n a collisionless plasma, particles interact with the background B-field one proton “scatters” off of ~ Avogadro’s number of particles tied together by nearly “frozen-in” turbulent B-field scatterings are nearly elastic An individual particle can gain, and keep for long times, much more energy than an average thermal particle B-fields are frozen-in because of high conductivity of diffuse plasmas. If the plasma moves, currents are generated to produce B-fields so magnetic flux remains unchanged. B-field moves with bulk plasma

Have developed a Composite SNR Model (CR-hydro-NEI code) SNR hydrodynamics, Nonlinear Shock Acceleration, Broadband continuum radiation, and X-ray emission line Collaborators: Andrei Bykov, Daniel Castro, Herman Lee, Hiro Nagataki, Dan Patnaude, & Pat Slane (early work with: Anne Decourchelle & Jean Ballet 2000,2004) 1)VH-1 code for 1-D hydrodynamics of evolving SNR (e.g., J. Blondin) 2)Semi-analytic, nonlinear DSA model (from P. Blasi and co-workers) 3)Non-equilibrium ionization for X-ray line emission (D. Patnaude, J. Raymond) 4)NL shock acceleration coupled to SNR hydrodynamics (Herman Lee) 5)Magnetic field amplification (Blasi’s group & Andrei Bykov) 6)Electron and Ion distributions from thermal to relativistic energies (T. Kamae) 7)Continuum photon emission from radio to TeV 8)Simple model of escaping CRs propagating beyond SNR Apply model to individual SNRs: RX J1713, CTB 109, Vela Jr., Tycho

p-p IC brems Core-collapse SN model SN explodes in a 1/r 2 pre-SN wind Shell of swept-up wind material Inverse-Compton dominates GeV-TeV emission Note good fit to highest energy HESS observations Inverse-Compton fit to HESS obs: Pre-SN wind B-field lower than ISM Can have MFA and still have B-field low enough to have high electron energy. For J1713, we predict average shocked B ~ 10 µG ! Note: Large majority of CR energy is still in ions even with IC dominating the radiation SNRs produce CR ions! synch One example: Thermal & Non-thermal Emission in SNR RX J1713 (Ellison, Lee, Slane, Patnaude, Nagataki et al 2007--2012)
28
High densities needed for pion-decay may be in cold clumps that don’t radiate thermal X-ray emission Inoue et al (2012) Multi-component model for SNR RX J1713 (Inoue, Yamazaki et al 2012; Fukui et al 2012): Average density of ISM protons: ~130 cm -3 Total mass ~2 10 4 M sun over SNR radius ~0.1% of supernova explosion energy in CR protons !! This may be a problem for CR origin
29
Warning: many parameters and uncertainties in CR-hydro-NEI model, but : For spherically symmetric model of SNR RX J1713 & Vela Jr.: Inverse-Compton is best explanation for GeV-TeV Other remnants can certainly be Hadronic or mixed, e.g. Tycho’s SNR and CTB 109. Important: For DSA most CR energy (~17% of E SN for J1713) is in ions even with inverse-Compton dominating the radiation All nonlinear models show that SNRs produce CR ions !!! There is no fundamental difference between IC and pp dominated SNRs Besides question of CR origin: Careful modeling of SNRs can provide constraints on critical parameters for shock acceleration: a)Shape and normalization of CR ions from particular SNRs b)electron/proton injection ratio c)Acceleration efficiency d)Magnetic Field Amplification e)Properties of escaping CRs f)Geometry effects in SNRs such as SN1006 What about CRs observed at Earth?

Figure from P. Boyle & D. Muller via Nakamura et a. 2010 Spectral shape of cosmic ray electron spectrum is similar to ions when radiation losses are considered. Cosmic rays measured at Earth Side note: Stochastic (second-order) acceleration cannot reproduce such similar spectral shapes. Stochastic acceleration is NOT acceleration mechanism for these galactic CRs
32
Don Ellison, NCSU Recent balloon and spacecraft observations of cosmic rays show “unexpected” spectral shapes, e.g.: ATIC-2 (Wefel et al. 2008); CREAM (Ahn et al 2010); PAMELA (Adriani et al. 2011) 1)Hint of curvature in CR spectra this might be concave curvature predicted by nonlinear DSA !? 2)CR helium spectrum is slightly harder that the proton spectrum at energies where both are fully relativistic This is impossible to explain with “simple” NL DSA. Must be more complicated. PAMELA (Adriani et al. 2011) p/He Rigidity (GV), R = pc/(eZ)

Log Velocity Log f(v) (p.s.d.) Velocity Scale, v << c Test-particle power laws Electrons Protons High A/Q ions Test-particle: All have identical spectral shapes in velocity (if scale to number of particles accelerated) What does basic model of Nonlinear DSA predict ? Consider spectral curvature when have different ion species. In test-particle acceleration, DSA predicts spectra ordered by velocity This results from assumption that scatterings are elastic in local frame nature of “collisionless” plasma Once all particles are fully relativistic they are treated the same Test-particle
35
Log Velocity Log Momentum protons electrons Log f(v) (p.s.d) electrons, proton high A/Q identical Velocity Scale, v << c Momentum scale Log f(p) (phase space) Test-particle power laws Heavy particles get more energy purely from the kinematics of energy gain in the converging plasmas on either side of the shock Test Particle Shock Acceleration High A/Q Test-particle power-law: same for all ion species
36
If shock is efficient, nonlinear effects are important and shock is smoothed: Small A/Q particles feel a smaller effective compression ratio, r eff, high A/Q ions feel a larger r eff than protons at same velocity High A/Q particles gain more energy in each crossing have a flatter spectrum than protons until both are relativistic This effect depends on acceleration efficiency and on shock Mach number X Flow speed Test Particle Modified shock Modified shock concave spectrum Note: plot p 4 f(p)
37
Log Momentum Momentum scale Non-linear effects X Flow speed Test Particle Modified shock electrons protons high A/Q ions e’s p A/Q Diffusion length proportional to A/Q means high A/Q species suffer LESS from modified shock If shock is modified mainly by protons, high A/Q ions will be enhanced, in acceleration process When nonlinear effects become important, momentum dependence of mfp gives CONCAVE spectra (Eichler 79, 84) e’s p A/Q enhancement depletion Log f(p) (phase space)
38
Bottom line: Nonlinear DSA predicts : Enhancement of high A/Q (mass/charge) particles. Heavy elements accelerated more efficiently than protons Observed at quasi-parallel Earth bow shock May explain difference in H/He slopes, but detailed modeling necessary Essential for modeling the composition of Galactic Cosmic Rays High A/Q (mass / charge) ions gain more energy in each crossing and have a flatter spectrum than protons as long as they are non-relativistic. Enhancement then persists to relativistic energies X Flow speed Test Particle Modified shock

Israel et al. compare with 80% mixed ISM and 20% massive star outflow & ejecta. Support for Gas-Dust model. Clear evidence for A/Q enhancement of both Volatiles & Refractories H and He are not on this plot. Until Meyer et al 1997, H and He were treated as “exceptions” and not included with heavy elements. H and He did not fit FIP scenario. Note: Mass, A ~ (A/Q)
45
Particle acceleration requires magnetic turbulence to work. This turbulence must be far stronger than typical ISM B/B to produce CRs to high energy Shocks can, and do, produce their own turbulence. No independent, external source of turbulence is necessary for DSA to take place. When a supersonic plasma, even one with zero B-field, encounters a barrier : currents will be generated by particles reflecting off barrier, small-scale B-fields result (call this the Weibel instability if you like), fresh, unshocked particles now gyrate in these fields and become randomized, a shock quickly forms, particles start to be accelerated by the shock and the streaming instability generates more magnetic field, etc…. Magnetic Field Amplification (MFA):

Bell & Lucek 2001 apply Q-linear theory when B/B >> 1; Bell 2004 non-resonant streaming instabilities Amato & Blasi 2006; Blasi, Amato & Caprioli 2006; Vladimirov, Ellison & Bykov 2006, 2008 How do you start with B ISM 3 G and end up with B 300 G at the shock? Efficient diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) not only places a large fraction of shock energy into relativistic particles, but also amplifies magnetic field by large factors MFA is connected to efficient CR production, so nonlinear effects essential } calculations coupled to nonlinear particle accel.
48
A lot of work by many people on nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) and Magnetic Field Amplification (MFA) Some current work (in no particular order): 1)Amato, Blasi, Caprioli, Morlino, Vietri: Semi-analytic 2)Bell: Semi-analytic and PIC simulations 3)Berezhko, Volk, Ksenofontov: Semi-analytic 4)Malkov: Semi-analytic 5)Niemiec & Pohl: PIC 6)Pelletier and co-workers: MHD, relativistic shocks 7)Reville, Kirk & co-workers: MHD, PIC 8)Spitkovsky and co-workers; Hoshino and co-workers; other PIC simulators: Particle-In-Cell simulations, so far, mainly rel. shocks 9)Caprioli & Spitkovsky; Giacalone et al.: hybrid simulations 10)Vladimirov, Ellison, Bykov: Monte Carlo 11)Zirakashvili & Ptuskin: Semi-analytic, MHD 12)Bykov et al 13)Apologies to people I missed …
49
1)Magnetic field generation intrinsic part of particle acceleration cannot treat DSA and MFA separately 2)Strong turbulence means Quasi-Linear Theory (QLT) not good approximation But QLT is our main analytic tool (QLT assumes B/B << 1) 3)Length and momentum scales are currently well beyond reach of 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations if wish to see full nonlinear effects Particularly true for non-relativistic shocks a)Problem difficult because TeV protons influence injection of keV protons and electrons 4)To cover full dynamic range, must use approximate methods: e.g., Monte Carlo, Semi-analytic, MHD simulations Magnetic Field Amplification in DSA is a hard problem
50
Thermal leakage Injection Acceleration Efficiency magnetic turbulence, B/B diffusion coefficient dissipation, & cascading Shock structure If acceleration is efficient, all elements feedback on all others Using approximate plasma physics (quasi-linear theory, Bohm diffusion, etc.) Can iteratively solve nonlinear DSA problem with MFA (Monte Carlo work with Andrei Bykov, Andrey Vladimirov & Sergei Osipov) iterate Iterative, Monte Carlo model of Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration (i.e., Vladimirov, Ellison & Bykov 2006,2008; Ellison & Vladimirov 2008) Similar semi-analytic results: Amato & Blasi (2006); Blasi, Amato & Caprioli (2006) Work with Bykov, Osipov & Vladimirov
51
Essential features of MFA in diffusive shock acceleration: 1) Production of turbulence, W(x,k) (assuming quasi-linear theory) a)Resonant (CR streaming instability) (e.g., Skilling 75; McKenzie & Volk 82; Amato & Blasi 2006) b)Non-resonant current instabilities (e.g., Bell 2004; Bykov et al. 2009; Reville et al 2007; Malkov & Diamond) i.CR current produces waves with scales short compared to CR gyro-radius ii.CR current produces waves with scales long compared to CR gyro-radius 2) Calculation of D(x,p) once turbulence is known a)Resonant (QLT): Particles with gyro-radius ~ waves gives part ∝ p b)Non-resonant: Particles with gyro-radius >> waves gives part ∝ p σ 3) Production of turbulence and diffusion must be coupled to NL shock structure including injection of lowest energy particles and escape of highest energy All coupled (1) Thermal injection; (2) shock structure modified by back reaction of accelerated particles; (3) turbulence generation; (4) diffusion in self-generated turbulence; (5) escape of maximum energy particles All coupled
52
Conclusions: 1)The production of CRs in young SNRs is expected to be efficient and nonlinear: theory and observations support this in individual remnants 2)DSA is intrinsically efficient and difficult ! Shock structure, CR production, B-field turbulence, Injection of thermal particles, all non-trivially connected 3)DSA is multi-scale (Intrinsic concave CR spectrum) Large fraction of total energy is in highest energy CRs with longest diffusion lengths To conserve energy, highest energy CRs must feedback on injection of lowest energy particles with shortest diffusion lengths 4)Injection of thermal particles, escape of high energy CRs, and self-generation of turbulence, all involve highly anisotropic distributions Quasi-linear theory not good approximation 5)Detailed plasma physics important for nonlinear effects, but : Multi-scale nature currently beyond reach of PIC simulations 6)Need to know how NL DSA works to explain origin of CRs and to properly interpret broadband SNR observations (also radio jets, GRBs …. ) NL DSA influences the evolution and morphology of SNRs and the thermal X-ray emission
