  48. Hadronic and LeptonicAcceleration in the GRB InternalShock Model

  49. Outline (1) Brief description of the GRB internalshock model. (2) Diffuse ShockAcceleration (DSA) model : basis. (3) Fermi acceleration in the internalshock stage. (4) Hadronicacceleration in the internalshocks. (5) Cosmic Ray generation : an additionalaccelerationprocess. (6) Leptonicacceleration in the internalshocks.

  50. The GRB internalshock model (seee.g. Rees M. &Mészáros P., ApJL, 430:L93-L96, 1994, or Piran T., RvMP, 76:1143-1210, 2005) A relativisticoutflowisproduced by a central engine (black hole + magnetized torus) of size r0≈ 107 cm⇔ set of (independant) collimatedshells or layers(1  Ns  c Δtw/r0.). Outflowduration : Δtw< 2 s for SGRBs and > 2 s for LGRBs. Baryonicloadingparameter :  E/Mc2 ≈ 50 to 500 for a total energyE ≈ 1050 to 1052 erg. Four main stages I – The acceleration of the layersbetweenr0 and the distance rs≈  r0 : Ein Ekin. II – Propagation with no collision, and with a Lorentz factor distribution close to  betweenrs and rb≈ 2 r0. The layersbecome transparent at a radius r close to rb. A thermal emissionis possible in keV range. III – The internalshock stage : (a) First collisions occuraroundrb : Ekin Ein. (b) Particles (protons, electrons, …) are accelerated by Fermi processes in shocks. (c) The GRB prompt emissionisproduced via synchrotron cooling of acceleratedparticles : Ein E . For the terrestrial observer, the energy of photons isboosted by a Lorentz factor close to . IV – The interaction with the surrounding medium leads to the externalshock and the reverse shock : production of the afterglowemission (and X flares ?).
