Spatial profiles of (from top to bottom) mass density, ratio of comoving electric field over current density e_z/j_z, and e_z for the kinetic model s10pic at t ≃ 2.4. The density is normalized by the upstream value, ρ₀, the electric field by the upstream magnetic field, B₀, and the current density by $J_{0} = \frac{c}{4 π} \frac{B_{0}}{L_{0}}$ $J_0=\frac{c}{4\pi}\frac{B_0}{L_0}$ .
