With test particle calculations, for which the electromagnetic fields of shock waves are obtained from one-dimensional, fully kinetic, electromagnetic, particle simulations, the motions of relativistic ions, electrons, and positrons are analyzed. In these simulations, the shock speed vsh is taken to be close to c cos θ, where θ is the angle between the external magnetic field and wave normal, and thus strong particle acceleration takes place. Test particle motions calculated in two different methods are compared: In the first method the total electric field E is used in the equation of motion, while in the second method E∥ is omitted. The comparison confirms that in the acceleration of relativistic ions E∥ is unimportant for high-energy particles. For the acceleration of electrons and positrons, however, E∥ is essential.}, pages = {112308--112308}, title = {The effect of parallel electric field in shock waves on the acceleration of relativistic ions, electrons, and positrons}, volume = {16}, year = {2009} }
