Electron shock drift acceleration at a low-Mach-number, low-plasma-beta quasi-perpendicular shock
Ao Guo, Quanming Lu, San Lu +2
Shock drift acceleration plays an important role in generating high-energy electrons at quasi-perpendicular shocks, but its efficiency in low beta plasmas is questionable. In this…
