Kinetic diffusion of cosmic rays ahead of perpendicular shocks induces charge non-neutrality, which is mostly, yet not completely, screened by the bulk plasma via polarization drift current. Hydrodynamic shear instabilities as well as modified Buneman instability of the polarization drift current generate the turbulence necessary for a Fermi-type acceleration. Thus, similar to the case of parallel shocks, cosmic rays excite turbulence in perpendicular shocks, allowing for self-consistent evolution of a shock-cosmic rays system.
