Laboratory Measurements of Energy Partitioning and Anomalous Electron Heating in Magnetized, Perpendicular Collisionless Shocks

Abstract We present laboratory results on energy partitioning from supercritical, magnetized collisionless shock experiments ( M A ∼ 8, M ms ∼ 4). We report the first observation of fully developed laboratory shocks that evolve for more than seven upstream ion gyroperiods and hav...
