Periodic self-reformation of rippled perpendicular collisionless shocks in two dimensions

<p>Large-scale two-dimensional (2-D) full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are carried out for studying periodic self-reformation of a supercritical collisionless perpendicular shock with an Alfvén–Mach number <i>M</i><sub><i>A</i></sub> ∼ 6.</p>&l...
