Cosmic ray acceleration at oblique shocks

Abstract:: We show that the diffusion approximation breaks down for particle acceleration at oblique shocks with velocities typical of young supernova remnants. Higher order anisotropies flatten the spectral index at quasi-parallel shocks and steepen the spectral index at quasi-perpendicular shocks. We compare the theory with observed spectral indices. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS.
