Energy Dissipation in Strong Collisionless Shocks: The Crucial Role of Ion-to-electron Scale Separation in Particle-in-cell Simulations
Energy dissipation in collisionless shocks is a key mechanism in various astrophysical environments. Its nonlinear nature complicates analytical understanding and necessitates particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. This study examines the impact of reducing the ion-to-electron mass ratio ( m _r ), to d...
