Increase of ion kinetic temperature across a collisionless shock. I - A new mechanismA simple but effective mechanism is proposed to account for the increase of ion kinetic temperature across an oblique or perpendicular shock. This mechanism is based on the nonadiabatic motion of the transmitted ions across the shock ramp, which can lead to an ion gyrophase-bunching behind the shock.
