\section{Introduction} In many areas of astrophysics massive central objects accrete mass and angular momentum from a disk and at the same time they eject a highly collimated jet. This is seen for central objects as massive as AGN or as light as (proto) brown dwarfs. For the most massive and most compact objects like AGN or accreting neutron stars the jets reach relativistic energies while the velocities are significantly lower in young stellar systems. Young, low-mass stars that actively accrete from a circum-stellar disk are called classical T Tauri stars \citep[for a review see][]{2013AN....334...67G}. The slowest velocities are observed in molecular lines with typical line shifts of only a few km~s$^{-1}$ \citep{2008ApJ...676..472B}. These molecular outflows have wide opening angles around 90\degree{} \citep[e.g.][]{2013A&A...557A.110S} and are presumably launched from the disk. Faster components are seen in H$\alpha$ or in optical forbidden emission lines such as [\ion{O}{1}] or [\ion{S}{2}]. \citet{2000ApJ...537L..49B} observed the jet from the CTTS \object{DG Tau} with seven long-slit exposures of \emph{HST}/STIS to resolve the kinematic structure of the jet both along and perpendicular to the jet axis. They find that the faster jet components are better collimated and propose an ``onion'' scenario, where the fastest jet components make up the innermost layer and the surrounding layers have progressively  lower velocitiesthe further  away from the jet axis they are. axis.  The fastest components seen in the optical emission lines are typically 200-300~km~s$^{-1}$ \citep{2004Ap&SS.292..651B,2008ApJ...689.1112C,2013A&A...550L...1S}. Yet, in some jets from CTTS there is evidence for another, more energetic, component. The best studied case is DG~Tau that was the target of several shorter \emph{Chandra} exposures in 2004, 2005, and 2006 and a large program in 2010 \citep{2005ApJ...626L..53G,2008A&A...478..797G,2011ASPC..448..617G}. These observations showed X-ray emission from three distinct regions: First, weak and soft emission from the jet is resolved several hundred AU from the star itself. Second, hard emission from the central star is observed with stellar flares as seen on many other young and active stars. However, since the star itself is embedded in circumstellar material, the stellar soft X-ray are complementely expected to be completely  absorbed. However, soft X-rays very close to the star are observed, which observed; they  are emitted in a region about 30-40~AU above the plane of the accretion disk. The centroid of the spatial distribution of soft X-rays is consistent with a position on the jet axis 30-40~AU from the star, but the uncertainties on the position would also allow an off-axis emission region \citep{2008A&A...488L..13S}. The luminosity and temperature of this inner emission region are remarkably stable over one decade. The maximum change observed is XXX \citep{SchneiderDGTauXray}. In \citet{2009A&A...493..579G} (from now on ``paper I'') we showed that this inner X-ray emission can be explained by shock heating of a jet component moving with 400-500~km~s$^{-1}$. For the case of DG~Tau the mass flux in this component is less than $10^{-4}$ of the total mass flux in the jet or even lower if the same material is reheated in several consecutive shocks. If the density in the fast outflow is $>10^5$~cm$^{-3}$ then the cooling length of this shock is only a few AU and in the optical it would be unresolved and outshined by the more luminous emission from the more massive, but slower jet component. DG~Tau is the best observed case, but a similar scenario probably applies to other jet launching young stars. In the more massive Herbig Ae/Be star \object{HD 163296} there are indications that the X-ray emission is extended in the direction of the jet by a few douzen AU, too \citep{2005ApJ...628..811S,2013A&A...552A.142G}. In this article we explain how such a shock can be caused by the recollimation of the inner jet due to the shape of the boundary between stellar winds and disk winds similar to the work of \citet{2012MNRAS.422.2282K} for relativistic jets. In section~\ref{sect:model} we develop the equations that govern the shock front and discuss the physical parameters in section~\ref{sect:parameters}. In section~\ref{sect:results} we present our results. We summarize this work and present our conclusions in section~\ref{sect:conclusion}.
