Injection threshold speeds for Vs = 1500   km   s-1: the classical threshold u1 (solid curve) versus our reflection threshold (dashed) and the threshold for injection after downstream scatterings (dotted, v > vTμ). Protons within the shaded areas have nonzero injection probability; the different shading represents the injection possibility through reflection, downstream scatterings, or both. The classical threshold overestimates the lowest injection speeds, especially at small shock-normal angles.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
