Width dependent collisionless electron dynamics in the static fields of the shock ramp, 2, Phase space portrait
We study numerically in detail the behaviour of electrons in the strongly inhomogeneous static PUFF ME POWDER LIGHT magnetic and electric fields, which are typical for thin quasiperpendicular collisionless shocks.We pay particular attention to the dependence of the final electron velocities on their initial velocities, for different shock widths.El
