Diffusive shock acceleration is an efficient mechanism for particle acceleration. For investigating the shock structure, the energy injection and energy spectrum ofa CME-driven shock, we perform a dynamical Monte Carlo simulation of the CME-driven shock that occurred on 2006 December 14 using an anisotropic scattering law. The simulated results of the shock's fine structure, par- ticle injection, and energy spectrum are presented. We find that our simulation results give a good fit to the observations from multiple spacecraft.展开更多
