On the origin of field-aligned beams at the quasi-perpendicular bow shock: multi-spacecraft observations by Cluster
Two distinct populations of reflected and accelerated ions are known to originate from quasi-perpendicular shocks, gyrating ions and reflected ion beams. Recent observations under such bow shock conditions with Cluster have shown strong evidence that both particle distributions appear to emerge f...
