Abstract
The structure of a collisionless shock wave at the front of which ion-acoustic turbulence is excited is investigated. On the basis of the theory of anomalous resistance, equations are obtained for the oscillational spectrum and the particle distribution function in the plasma which, when known, make it possible to determine the magnetic field profile, density, and other macroscopic characteristics of the shock wave. The possibility of comparing theoretical predictions with experimental results from light scattering at the shock front is discussed.
