Analytical and Numerical Calculations Proposed I 1. Calculation of with dependence on 2. Role of shock obliquity (Tylka and Lee, 2006)
Analytical and Numerical Calculations Proposed II 3. Form of exponential rollover with dependence on 4. Ion spatial profiles upstream of the shock with dependence on 5. Escaping ions and the streaming limit with dependence on 6. Inferring from ESP events
Spectral Rollover: Mewaldt et al.;
Work Plan: Way Behind! Year 1: Complete and publish analytical work Year 2: Develop the numerical algorithm and test the analytical approximation. Year 3: Systematic comparison of results with selected events
