Confirmation of quasi‐perpendicular shock reformation in two‐dimensional hybrid simulations
Download2009
Danskin, Donald W., Rankin, Robert, Trichtchenko, Larisa, Yuan, Xingqui, Cairns, Iver H.
Shock reformation involves regions of a shock undergoing periodic collapse and redevelopment on a time scale close to the ion cyclotron period. Reformation is often observed in one-dimensional (1-D) hybrid and particle in cell (PIC) simulations of quasi-perpendicular collisionless shocks provided...

Recent simulation results have revealed that energetic electron bursts are produced cyclically at the shock reformation period upstream of reforming shocks and are qualitatively very different from the continuous beam expected from time-stationary shocks (Yuan et al., 2007a). This paper extends...
