On the structure of relativistic collisionless shocks in electron-ion plasmas
Anatoly Spitkovsky
Relativistic collisionless shocks in electron-ion plasma are thought to occur in the afterglow phase of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), and in other environments where relativistic flows…

Long Term Evolution of Magnetic Turbulence in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks: Electron-Positron Plasmas
P. Chang, A. Spitkovsky, J. Arons
We study the long term evolution of magnetic fields generated by a collisionless relativistic shock which is initially unmagnetized. Our 2D particle-in-cell numerical simu…
