Shock front nonstationarity and ion acceleration in supercritical perpendicular shocks

Reforming perpendicular shocks in the presence of pickup protons: initial ion acceleration

Acceleration processes associated with the heliospheric termination shock may provide a source of anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs). Recent kinetic simulations of supercritical, quasi-perpendicular shocks have yielded time varying shock solutions that cyclically reform on the spatiotemporal scales of the incoming protons. Whether a shock solution is stationary or reforming depends upon the plasma pa...

Ion dynamics in quasi-perpendicular collisionless interplanetary shocks: a case study

*Correspondence: Michael Gedalin, Department of Physics, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel e-mail: [email protected] Interplanetary shocks are believed to play an important role in the acceleration of charged particles in the heliosphere. While the acceleration to high energies proceeds via the diffusive mechanism at the scales exceeding by far the shock width, the in...
