Scientific paper

The upstream damping effects of Langmuir waves created both behind and in front of a shock front propagating in the circumstellar matter are examined. A model is presented where upstream heating is produced by Landau damping of two different types of Langmuir waves, those excited by resonance beam particles upstream and those created in the postshock turbulent waves. The model makes it possible to calculate the 'heating efficiency' of beam particles, Bell's acceleration efficiency, the spectrum of Langmuir waves in a turbulent regime, and the effects of density. The calculations are applied to type II SN.
