A more accurate numerical scheme for diffusive shock acceleration
We present a more accurate numerical scheme for the calculation of diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic rays using stochastic differential equations. The accuracy of this scheme is demonstrated using a simple analytical flow profile that contains a shock of finite width and a varying diffusivity o...
