Spatial dependence of accelerated protons

In certain range of parametrs, depending on the boundary and initial conditions, this approach gives results similar to the DSA theory

On the other hand, the results which are different from DSA approach look more realistic

C O N C L U S I O N S

-- Model of pitch angle diffusion (PAD) transport is flexible and allows relatively easily track particles through discontinuities

-- Equivalence of the results with the DSA theory depends on the initial and boundary conditions

-- Model o f PAD transport gives more realistic results for shock acceleration.
