摘要
The anomalous cosmic rays have been studied for about fifty years. Through theoretical and numerical models, we can learn how and where they are originating. When Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft observed the solar wind termination shock, the main efforts were focused on try to explain the source spectrum and the acceleration mechanism. Nevertheless, there is another feature of the spectrum that need a better understanding, and it is related with the peak intensity in the energy spectrum, that occurred at different energies in consecutive solar minima. Qualitatively, it can be explained in terms of drifts and its relation with the acceleration process. In the past some works have been partially successful to explain the observations. In this paper we do another effort to explain the shift in the peak intensity of anomalous cosmic ray energy spectrum. We use a numerical model which includes diffusive shock acceleration, and the effects of the heliosheath. The present work analyzes the role played by different factors in the energy shift of the peak intensity between two successive minima, in particular the location of the region of observations with respect to the shock, the heliospheric distance, the effects of turbulence on the reduction of weak scattering drifts, as well as a possible latitudinal dependence in the ion injection on the shock.
