Electron Acceleration at Quasi-parallel Nonrelativistic Shocks: A 1D Kinetic Survey

We present a survey of 1D kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of quasi-parallel nonrelativistic shocks to identify the environments favorable for electron acceleration. We explore an unprecedented range of shock speeds v _sh ≈ 0.067–0.267 c , Alfvén Mach numbers ${{ \mathcal M }}_{{\rm{A}}}=5\mbox{...
