Scientific paper

One-dimensional hybrid simulations are used to investigate the process of quasi-parallel shock reformation and to examine the coupling of a beam of ions reflected at the shock to the incoming solar wind. A simple simulation configuration is constructed that makes it possible to control the properties of the background plasma and of the reflected ions. The length and time scales for the coupling of the reflected ions to the background plasma are investigated as functions of the upstream magnetic field direction, beam density, and beam temperature. The coupling length and time scales are found to vary systematically with the upstream magnetic field direction. The coupling occurs at roughly the time and location where the injected ions become deflected transverse to the shock normal direction.
