Bootstrap shock acceleration of solar energetic particles (SEPs) is intimately coupled to the amplification and damping of Alfvén waves. In steady-state acceleration models, SEPs traveling upstream from the shock resonantly amplify outward propagating Alfvén waves and damp inward propagating Alfvén waves. However, in a time-dependent model that includes pitch-angle evolution, high-energy SEPs are first shock accelerated at large pitch angles and then are scattered to small pitch angles by Alfven waves. In this interaction, contrary to the steady-state scenario, the most energetic SEPs damp outward propagating Alfvén waves and amplify inward propagating waves. We will present results from our time-dependent model of SEP acceleration by parallel coronal shock to illustrate the above process and discuss its implications.
