A one-dimensional, two-species numerical-simulation code has been used to study the formation and structure of collisionless electrostatic shocks formed by two colliding plasmas and by a plasma striking a perfectly reflecting piston. Collisionless shocks are formed in hydrogen up to a maximum piston velocity of M≡ v D c S∼ 3.5. Shocks with velocities up to M∼ 4 have been produced which have a predominantly laminar structure accompanied by strong collisionless dissipation.
