Collisionless Shock 5

[HEDS12-03] Relativistic collisionless shock propagating in an unmagnetized relativistically hot plasma

*Kazuki Kamiido¹, Yutaka Ohira¹ (1. The University of Tokyo)

We show that the energy dissipation in collisionless shocks in a relativistically hot plasma is much larger than that for nonlelativistic cases. We present Particle-In-Cell simulation results of collisionless shocks in a relativistically hot plasma.
