Under and over-adiabatic electrons through a perpendicular collisionless shock: theory versus simulations
Test particle simulations are performed in order to analyze in detail the dynamics of transmitted electrons through a supercritical, strictly perpendicular, collisionless shock. In addition to adiabatic particles, two distinct nonadiabatic populations are observed surprisingly: (i) first, an <...
