MMS Observations of the Velocity-space Signature of Shock-drift Acceleration

MMS Observations of the Velocity-space Signature of Shock-drift Acceleration

Collisionless shocks play a key role in the heliosphere at planetary bow shocks by governing the conversion of the upstream bulk kinetic energy of the solar wind flow to other forms of energy in the downstream, including heating of the plasma species, acceleration of particles, and increase of magne...
