The development of turbulence under the energy feed of diffuse backstreaming ions upstream of quasi-parallel (QP) shocks is investigated using two-dimensional (2D) hybrid simulations involving the injection of a very hot ion beam against a cold incident flow and stronly grow in amplitude as they encounter larger beam densities. Pulsations are formed which are very similar to the short large amplitude magnetic structures (SLAMS) observed upstream of the Earth's bow shock. It is shown that SLAMS induced slowing and heating of the incident flow and play and active role in the shock transition.
