Main parameters of the shock code, standard model, and range of values explored in this work.

Name Standard Range Unit Definition
nH 104 102–105 cm−3 Pre-shock proton densitya
G0 1 0–104 Radiation field scaling factorb
10−2 and 10−1 10−2–101 Pre-shock visual extinction
uturb 1 km s−1 Turbulent velocity
3 × 10−17 s−1 H2 cosmic-ray ionization rate
Vs 10 5–25 km s−1 Shock velocity
b 1 0.1–10 Magnetic parameterc

Notes. (a) Defined as nH = n(H) + 2n(H2). (b) The scaling factor G0 is applied to the standard ultraviolet radiation field of Mathis et al. (1983). (c) Sets the initial transverse magnetic field .
