Electron energization dynamics in interaction of self-generated magnetic vortices in upstream of collisionless electron/ion shocks.

ABSTRACT: Relativistic collisionless shocks are considered responsible for particle energization mechanisms leading to particle acceleration. While electron energization in shock front region of electron/ion collisionless shocks are the most studied, the mechanism of electron energization in interaction with self-generated magnetic vortices (MVs) in the upstream region is still unclear. We investigate electron energization mechanism in the upstream region of electron/ion relativistic collisionless shocks, using two dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. We discuss mechanism of electron energization which takes place in the upstream region of the shock, where the counter stream particles interact with incoming flow. The energy gain of electrons happens during their interaction with evolving
