Ion trajectories at collisionless shocks in space plasmas

The thesis investigates ion behaviour at collisionless shocks, with a focus on two areas of interest. The first area concerns the reflection of particles from collisionless shocks, a necessary mechanism for thermalization at a shock at sufficiently high Mach numbers such as ordinarily prevail at the...
