Distributions of charged particles averaged over the downstream region of three shocks that differ only in the the angle between the average upstream magnetic field and the unit shock normal direction. The distributions were obtained from test-particle orbit integrations of particles moving through kinematically prescribed electric and magnetic fields associated with strong collisionless shocks.
