In this work the theory of diffusive shock acceleration is extended to the case of non-classical particle transport with L\'{e}vy flights and L\'{e}vy traps, when the mean square displacement grows nonlinearly with time. In this approach…

Analysis of Mark 4 and LASCO C2, C3 coronagraph data shows that, at the distance $R \leq 6$ R$_\odot$ from the center of the Sun, the thickness of a CME-generated shock-wave front ($\delta_F$) may be of order of the proton mean free path.…

Diffusive shock acceleration is the theory of particle acceleration through multiple shock crossings. In order for this process to proceed at a rate that can be reconciled with observations of high-energy electrons in the vicinity of the…
