Notes. To each row in the table different background plasma parameters can correspond, hence different simulations. The full simulation list is presented in Table 1. Here, the electron and ion temperatures are the same, denoted by Θe = Te/(mec2) and Θi = Ti/(mic2). The electrons and ions counterstream with opposite velocities ± βec and associated Lorentz factors Γe. The sheet half-width in units of ion inertial lengths is L/di, while in units of electron thermal Larmor radii it is L/rce.

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.
