Kinetic Simulations of Nonrelativistic High-mach-number Perpendicular Shocks Propagating in a Turbulent Medium
Strong nonrelativistic shocks are known to accelerate particles up to relativistic energies. However, for diffusive shock acceleration, electrons must have a highly suprathermal energy, implying the need for very efficient preacceleration. Most published studies consider shocks propagating through h...
