Collisionless electron-ion shocks in relativistic unmagnetized jet-ambient interactions: Non-thermal electron injection by double layer
Kazem Ardaneh, Dongsheng Cai, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa
The course of non-thermal electron ejection in relativistic unmagnetized electron-ion shocks is investigated by performing self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations. The shocks…

Collisionless Weibel shocks and electron acceleration in gamma-ray bursts
Kazem Ardaneh, Dongsheng Cai, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa +1
A study of collisionless external shocks in gamma-ray bursts is presented. The shock structure, electromagnetic fields, and process of electron acceleration are assessed by perform…
