Particle Energization at a High Mach Number Perpendicular Shock: 1D Particle-in-cell Simulations

In this paper, we use a 1D particle-in-cell simulation code to study particle preaccelerations at a high Mach number perpendicular shock. Our simulation results show that almost all of the injected particles can be reflected at the shock front, and then they immediately gyrate back to upstream for a...
