Density jump as a function of magnetic field for switch-on collisionless shocks in pair plasmas

The properties of collisionless shocks, like the density jump, are usually derived from magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), where isotropic pressures are assumed. Yet, in a collisionless plasma, an external magnetic field can sustain a stable anisotropy. We have already devised a model for the kinetic histo...
