Scientific paper

We study the kinetic nature of the realtivistic, perpendicular shocks in electron-ion plasmas and discuss the origin of non-thermal high energy particles, using the full particle simulation code including the relativistic Lorentz equation. We find that the electron can be accelerated up to the upstream ion kinetic energy in the form of non-thermal high energy tail.
