چکیده
The Mach number is one of the most important parameters collisionless shocks. accuracy its observational determination compromised by several complications. Incomplete measurements plasma significantly contribute to uncertainty, along with errors normal determination. A set CLUSTER observed shocks analyzed using methods for finding shock and circumvent shortcomings data. relation between maximum magnetic compression Alfvénic established. It proposed as a proxy estimate when are incomplete.

Electron Acceleration at a Low-mach-number Perpendicular Collisionless Shock
A full particle simulation study is carried out on the electron acceleration at a collisionless, relatively low Alfven Mach number (MA = 5), perpendicular shock. Recent self-consistent hybrid shock simulations have demonstrated that the shock front of perpendicular shocks has a dynamic rippled character along the shock surface of low-Mach-number perpendicular shocks. In this paper, the effect o...
متن کاملHigh pressure hugoniot measurements using mach waves
Traditionally, most dynamic shock compression experiments are conducted using a plane one-dimensional wave of uniaxial strain. In this case, the evaluation of the equation of state is simplified due to the geometry, but the amplitude of the induced shock wave is limited by the magnitude of the input load. In an effort to dramatically increase the range of pressures that can be accessed by tradi...
متن کاملGeneralized hydrodynamic theory of shock waves: Mach-number dependence of inverse shock width for nitrogen gas.
A generalized hydrodynamic theory of shock wave structures is presented for rigid diatomic gases. The theory yields shock solutions for all Mach numbers. The accuracy of the theory is examined for nitrogen gas as an example. Excellent agreement with experiment is obtained for the inverse shock widths for the entire range of Mach number studied by experiment. The comparison made shows that we ar...
متن کاملQuasiperpendicular High Mach Number Shocks.
Shock waves exist throughout the Universe and are fundamental to understanding the nature of collisionless plasmas. Reformation is a process, driven by microphysics, which typically occurs at high Mach number supercritical shocks. While ongoing studies have investigated this process extensively both theoretically and via simulations, their observations remain few and far between. In this Letter...
متن کاملHigh Pressure Hugoniot Measurements in Solids Using Mach Reflections
Shock compression experiments provide access to extreme pressures in a laboratory setting. Matter at these pressures is often studied by utilizing a well controlled planar impact between two flat plates to generate a one dimensional shock wave. While these experiments are a powerful tool in equation of state (EOS) development, they are inherently limited by the velocity of the impacting plate. ...
