In diffusive shock acceleration, the streaming of shock-accelerated particles may induce plasma instabilities.
A fast non-resonant instability (Bell 2004, MNRAS) may efficiently amplify short-wavelength modes in fast shocks.

Turbulence Particles
Our model for particle propagation in strong turbulence interpolates between different scattering regimes in different particle energy ranges.

We study the consequences of two hypotheses:
A. No spectral energy transfer (i.e., suppressed
cascading),
= 0
B. Fast Kolmogorov
cascade,
= W5/2k3/2ρ-1/2

•Without cascading, Bell’s instability forms a turbulence spectrum with several distinct peaks.
•The peaks occur due to the nonlinear connection between particle transport and magnetic field amplification.
•Without a cascade-induced dissipation, the plasma in the precursor remains cold.

•With fast cascading, Bell’s instability forms a smooth, hard power law turbulence spectrum
•The effective downstream magnetic field turns out lower with cascading, as well as the maximum particle energy
•Viscous dissipation of small-scale fluctuations in the process of cascading induces a strong heating of the backround plasma upstream.

Summary• We studied magnetic field amplification in a nonlinear
particle accelerating shock dominated by Bell’s nonresonant short-wavelength instability
• If spectral energy transfer (cascading) is suppressed, turbulence energy spectrum has several distinct peaks
• If cascading is efficient, the spectrum is smoothed out, and significant heating increases the precursor temperature

Discussion• With better information about spectral energy transfer
(in a strongly magnetized plasma with ongoing nonresonant magnetic field amplification, accounting for the interactions with streaming accelerated
particles) we can refine our predictions regarding the amount of MFA, maximum particle energy Emax, heating and compression in particle accelerating shocks (plasma simulations needed)
• If peaks do occur, they define a potentially observable spatial scale and an indirect measurement of Emax
• Peaks in the spectrum may help explain the rapid variability of synchrotron X-ray emission*
• Observations of precursor heating may provide information about the character of spectral energy transfer in the process of MFA
