Scientific paper

Collisionless shocks in a laboratory magnetized plasma are considered where various types of energy dissipation at the shock front are demonstrated. Attention is given to laminar waves, Ohmic heating of electrons, and viscous dissipation due to the two-stream instability with Alfven Mach numbers greater than three. It is found that with small Mach numbers the anomalous increase of resistance at the shock front prevents the shock front from steepening; at high Mach numbers, the anomalous resistivity cannot stop the steepening and the two-stream instability occurs.
