Energy Dissipation in Strong Collisionless Shocks: The Crucial Role of Ion-to-Electron Scale Separation in Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Using a reduced ion-to-electron mass ratio of 100 instead of the realistic 1836 in 1D3V PIC simulations of strong parallel shocks reverses electron acceleration behavior and changes electron and ion heating at low and high Alfvén Mach numbers.
