2 I.Telezhinsky | Particle acceleration in IC443 | 08.05.2014 | Page 2 Outline > Particle acceleration  transport equation  diffusion coefficient and turbulence > Magnetic turbulence spectrum  typical view  calculation  first results  approximation > Model of supernova remnant IC443. First results.  (not so) known parameters  modeling  first results > Preliminary conclusions

3 I.Telezhinsky | Particle acceleration in IC443 | 08.05.2014 | Page 3 Particle acceleration: transport equation > Assuming:  CRs scatter elastically  their distribution is isotropic (v CR >> v shock ) > CRs evolution can be described by diffusion-advection equation:  N – energy differential number density of CRs  D – energy dependent diffusion coefficient  u – plasma flow velocity  p t – energy losses  Q – source of thermal particles

4 I.Telezhinsky | Particle acceleration in IC443 | 08.05.2014 | Page 4 Particle acceleration: diffusion coefficient and turbulence > diffusion coefficient, D, defines:  injection of particles from thermal pool  acceleration efficiency (small D  large CR’s residence time  high CR’s E max )  number and spectral shape of escaping particles > escaping particles  produce magnetic turbulence that scatters next generation of injected particles  re-fill Galactic CRs > diffusion coefficient is related to magnetic turbulence > assuming  = const same as E w = const  strong (wrong) assumption

6 I.Telezhinsky | Particle acceleration in IC443 | 08.05.2014 | Page 6 > Magnetic turbulence spectrum is given by transport equation:  E w – differential (per lnk) energy density of magnetic turbulence relative to background magnetic energy density U  D k – cascading coefficient (Schlickeiser 2002)  u – plasma flow velocity  v a – Alfven velocity   g – resonant mode growth rate (Bell 1978)   d – turbulence damping rate  N – energy differential number density of CRs Magnetic turbulence spectrum: calculation

19 I.Telezhinsky | Particle acceleration in IC443 | 08.05.2014 | Page 19 Preliminary conclusions > Magnetic turbulence spectrum is not “white noise” > When taken into account, it modifies CR spectrum  downstream of the shock  upstream, at the position of target material > Thorough analysis of dense matter distribution and mass around IC443 is required > Energy dependent morphology and more precise spectral measurements by VERITAS should help constrain model  do we see diffuse emission from denser hemisphere?  is power-law index of hot spot different from “CR sea”?
