Around small pulses that are generated in a large-amplitude shock wave in a magnetized plasma, electrons can be accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies. Simulations demonstrate electron acceleration to energies γ>100 in weak magnetic fields such that |Ω_e |/ω_pe<1 as well as in strong magnetic fields. The theoretical model accounts for the basic features of the electron motion in the simulations., 10pages}, pages = {052308--052308}, title = {Electron acceleration caused by small pulses in shock waves}, volume = {12}, year = {2005} }
