24. Strictly speaking, the EEDF is not Maxwellian immediately behind the shock, due to the relatively low number of of e-e collisions. A non-Maxwellian CR model is currently under development and will be used for more detailed studies in the future. This effect is most likely negligible for the present study, since the rapid heating of electrons behind the shock by elastic collisions with neutral atoms plays a more important role than e-e collisions.
