Collisionless shocks are present in many astrophysical phenomena, such as supernovae remnants and the Earth's bow shock. In these events, collisionless electromagnetic processes mediate the transfer of momentum and energy from the flowing plasma to the ambient one. Using our platform, where we couple high-power lasers (JLF/Titan at LLNL, and LULI2000) with strong magnetic fields, we have generated astrophysically relevant super-critical magnetized collisionless shocks. Kinetic Particle-In-Cell simulations based on our experimental results reveal that shock surfing acceleration is responsible for the energization of the background protons up to 100 keV. Our observations not only provide evidence of early stage ion acceleration by collisionless shocks, but they also highlight the role this mechanism plays in energizing ions initially at rest, with capacity to feed further stages of acceleration.
