Global shock structures at ﹩{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}}t=500﹩ for ﹩{\sigma }_{e}=3\times {10}^{-1}﹩. From top to bottom, the electron number density Ne, the transversely averaged electron number density ﹩\langle {N}_{e}\rangle ﹩, the out-of-plane magnetic field Bz, the 1D profile for Bz along ﹩y/(c/{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}})=21﹩, the transversely averaged electrostatic field ﹩\langle {E}_{x}\rangle ﹩, and the phase-space plots of electrons in the ﹩x-{u}_{{xe}}﹩ and ﹩x-{u}_{{ye}}﹩ planes are shown. The color scale of the phase-space plots is in a logarithmic scale.
