The mechanism of electron trapping by an oblique shock wave is studied with theory and particle simulations. An energy equation is derived, which focuses on particle velocity and electric field parallel to the magnetic field B. It is then shown that electrons can be reflected by a negative dip of F, where F is the integral of the parallel electric field, E∥=(E・B) /B, along B. The parallel energy is decreased after the reflection owing to the recovery of F to positive values. This leads to deep electron trapping. These theoretical predictions are verified with relativistic, electromagnetic particle simulations.
