Wave-particle acceleration during supernova explosions
Abstract
We investigate particle acceleration during the early stages of a supernova explosion via a resonant interaction between electromagnetic waves and quantum waves associated with particles. For typical progenitor masses of (8; 12; 20)× Ms, we find that this mechanism can accelerate protons to energies of up to 3× 1014 eV. Interestingly, despite the continuously declining luminosity, the particle energy initially increases, reaches a maximum, and subsequently decreases, reflecting the characteristic behavior of the resonant acceleration mechanism.
