\section{Summary and conclusion} \label{sect:conclusion} In a CTTS system stellar wind and disk wind interact. The high pressure of the disk wind can collimate confine  the free  stellar wind into a directed jet. This collimation builds up a narrow, jet-like region, bound by an elongated  shock surface within the stellar wind and for surface. For  reasonable parameters of $\dot M$, $v_\infty$, $\omega_0$ and $P(z)$ the shock surface encloses a region only few several  AU wide and a few but  tens of AU extended AUs  along the jet axis. Paper~I shows that the post-shock cooling zone behind this shock front is of similar size. This The shock surface  is so small that it cannot be resolved with current instrumentation and therefore cannot be seen directly as a  cavity in the disk wind. A small fraction of the stellar wind is shocked to X-ray emitting temperatures $>1$~MK. Paper~I showed that a shock with these properties is required to explain the observed X-ray emission in the CTTS DG~Tau and here we now explain how these DG~Tau. We show that such a  shockproperties  naturally arise arises  in a scenario where the stellar wind is collimated confined  by the an  external presure and feeds the innermost layers of the jet. Furthermore, \citet{2013A&A...550L...1S} observed C\;{\sc iv} emission in DG Tau that is formed at cooler temperatures than the those required for  X-ray emission and that is too luminous to be explained by cooled X-ray plasma alone. Our solutions to the ODE almost all have more plamsa heated to 0.5~MK then than  to 1~MK and can thus in principle  explain these observations as well. However, more detailed numerical simulations of the post-shock cooling zone and the shape of the contact discontinuity between the disk wind and the post-shock stellar wind are required to check weather whether  the physical extend extent  of the cooling region behind the shock front and the position of the peak C\;{\sc iv} emission can be matched to the observations at the same time. There is too much parameter degeneracy to turn the argument around andto  derive $\dot M$, $v_\infty$ or $P(z)$ from the fact that we observe X-ray and FUV emission a few tens of AU AUs  from the star. In summary, a fast stellar wind that is collimated confined  by an  external pressure from the disk wind will form a collimation shock. We derive the geometrical shape and other properties of this shock front and find that this model is a plausible scenario to explain viable explanation of the  soft X-ray and FUV emissionas  observed at the base of young stellar jets, specifically in DG~Tau.
