Short summary
We examine the wave activity that can possibly develop in the foot of quasi-perpendicular plasma shock, as it arises from the relative drifts of three particle populations across the background magnetic field: ions incoming toward the shock, ions reflected from the shock, and electrons. The goal is to consider the role of different wave propagation angles with respect to the magnetic field. Three types of instabilities are identified which could play a role in shock dissipation.
