The Discrepancy Between Simulation and Observation of Electric Fields in Collisionless Shocks

Recent time series observations of electric fields within collisionless shocks have shown that the fluctuating, electrostatic fields can be in excess of one hundred times that of the quasi-static electric fields. That is, the largest amplitude electric fields occur at high frequencies, not low. In c...
