Electron Injection via Modified Diffusive Shock Acceleration in High-Mach-number Collisionless Shocks
The ability of collisionless shocks to efficiently accelerate nonthermal electrons via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is thought to require an injection mechanism capable of preaccelerating electrons to high enough energy where they can start crossing the shock front potential. We propose, and s...
