Relativistic Collisionless Shocks in Inhomogeneous Magnetized Plasmas

Relativistic Collisionless Shocks in Inhomogeneous Magnetized Plasmas

Relativistic collisionless shocks are associated with efficient particle acceleration when propagating into weakly magnetized homogeneous media; as the magnetization increases, particle acceleration becomes suppressed. We demonstrate that this changes when the upstream carries kinetic-scale inhomoge...
