AB - <jats:p>Shock waves in collisionless plasmas rely on kinetic processes toconvert the primary incident bulk flow energy into thermal energy. Thatconversion is initiated within a thin transition layer but may continuewell into the downstream region. At the Earth’s bow shock, the regiondownstream of shock locations where the interplanetary magnetic field isnearly parallel to the shock normal is highly turbulent. We study thedistribution of thin current events in this magnetosheath.Quantification of the energy dissipation rate made by the MMS spacecraftshows that these isolated intense currents are distributed uniformlythroughout the magnetosheath and convert a significant fraction(5%-11%) of the energy flux incident at the bow shock.</jats:p>
