Abstract
We present experimental evidence for the presence of current-driven ion-wave turbulence within a collisionless shock. The frequency and wave-number spectra of this turbulence have been measured by scattering light from the shock front. These measurements are compared with the assumptions and predictions of nonlinear theory.Keywords
