... ATNF Home . ... Parkes radio telescope . ... The Effect of Synchrotron Losses on Multiple Diffusive Shock Acceleration . ... Our sequential procedure for treating synchrotron losses involves neglecting the synchrotron losses so that DSA forms a distribution that extends well beyond the synchrotron cutoff, and then allowing synchrotron losses to modify this distribution. ... The foregoing proof of equivalence of the two treatments of DSA and synchrotron losses applies for an initial distribution . ...
