Diffusive shock acceleration: non-classical model of cosmic ray transport
Abstract
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 the Green function is not a Gaussian but it exhibits power-law tails. By using the propagator appropriate for non-classical diffusion, it is found for the first time that energy spectral index of particles accelerated at shock front is , where and are the exponents of power-law behavior of L\'{e}vy flights and L\'{e}vy traps, respectively. We note that this result coincides with standard slope at (normal diffusion), and also includes those obtained earlier for the subdiffusion () and superdiffusion () regimes.
