Conclusions on ESP spectra É
1. Finite-time shock acceleration model
• power law spectrum at low energy
• faster dropoff at high energy
2. Expect Ec /A ° t2/(α+1) (Q/A)2α/(α+1)
3. For 3 events, able to simultaneously fit measurements
     of C, O, and Fe ions
4. Fits to weak events: Infer λ as typical IP values
5. Fit to strong event: Infer much lower λ, consistent with
    expectations for proton-amplified waves
