Simulations show that for shock waves propagating obliquely to a magneticfield (angles from 55/degree/ to 80/degree/ for the parameters run), a double layer formsat the shock front and plays an important role in the shock dynamics. Electronsare strongly accelerated through the double layer and scattered off ion andmagnetic field fluctuations behind the shock. Some ions are reflected by thedouble layer and the jump in magnetic field. For these investigations, electronheating is the major dissipation.
