First, magnetic and electric field profiles of an oblique shock wave are obtained by means of a one-dimensional, relativistic, electromagnetic, particle simulation. Test particle trajectories of fast ions are then calculated using these wave profiles. Some fast ions are trapped by the shock wave owing to the relativistic effect that velocity is limited by the speed of light while the momentum can grow indefinitely. In these simulations, some fast ions are found to suffer energy jumps several tens of times; as a result, their final maximum Lorentz factors far exceeded 100.}, pages = {1069--1072}, title = {Long time behavior of relativistic ions incessantly accelerated by an oblique shock wave}, volume = {9}, year = {2002} }
