Direct Acceleration of Pickup Ions at the Solar Wind Termination Shock: The Production of Anomalous Cosmic Rays
We have modeled the injection and acceleration of pickup ions at the solar wind termination shock and investigated the parameters needed to produce the observed anomalous cosmic-ray (ACR) fluxes. A nonlinear Monte Carlo technique was employed that in effect solves the Boltzmann equation and is not restricted to near-isotropic particle …
