Strong Relativistic Collisionless Shock
A direct numerical simulation of a strong relativistic collisionless shock propagating into an unmagnetized medium has been performed in two spatial dimensions. It is found that: (i) collisionless shock exists, (ii) particle acceleration is insignificant, (iii) the shock does not generate “quasi-static” magnetic fields, contrary to recent claims by other authors. All our results agree with a si...
متن کاملDetermination of the dispersion of low frequency waves downstream of a quasiperpendicular collisionless shock
A method of wave mode determination, which was announced in Balikhin and Gedalin, is applied to AMPTE UKS and AMPTE IRM magnetic field measurements downstream of supercritical quasiperpendicular shock. The method is based on the fact that the relation between phase difference of the waves measured by two satellites, Doppler shift equation, the direction of the wave propagation are enough to obt...
متن کاملNon-adiabatic electron behaviour due to short-scale electric field structures at collisionless shock waves
Under sufficiently high electric field gradients, electron behaviour within exactly perpendicular shocks is unstable to the so-called trajectory instability. We extend previous work paying special attention to short-scale, highamplitude structures as observed within the electric field profile. Via test particle simulations, we show that such structures can cause the electron distribution to hea...
متن کاملWaves and Instabilities in Collisionless Shocks
By scattering particles and causing dissipation, waves in a collisionless shock play a role similar to collisions in an ordinary gas. In describing the waves and instability that occur near a shock three regions must be considered: (1) the transition region, (2) the upstream region, and (3) the downstream region. The transition region is usually characterized by an abrupt broadband burst of ele...
متن کاملOn Shock Waves in Solids
This paper describes some recent theoretical results pertaining to the experimentally-observed relation between the speed of a shock wave in a solid and the particle velocity immediately behind the shock. The new feature in the present analysis is the assumption that compressive strains are limited by a materially-determined critical value, and that the internal energy density characterizing th...
