The effect of trapped electrons on electromagnetic fields in a shock wave is studied by theory and particle simulations. The expressions for field strengths are analytically obtained, including the number of trapped electrons nt as a factor. It is shown that as nt increases, the magnitude of F increases, where F is the integral of the parallel electric field, E∥ = (E⋅B)/B, along B. Theoretical analysis also suggests that the increase in F causes the electrons to be trapped deeper and accelerated to higher kinetic energies. These theoretical predictions are verified with relativistic electromagnetic particle simulations.}, pages = {112305--112305}, title = {Effects of trapped electrons on electromagnetic fields in an oblique shock wave}, volume = {16}, year = {2009} }
