Shock electron heating due to breakdown of small-scale quasistationary electrostatic field in the shock ramp is analyzed analytically and numerically and compared with experimental data. We derive statistical dependencies of the heating on the shock parameters. Relations obtained numerically are in good agreement with experiment. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1994
