Scientific paper

Interplanetary shocks can accelerate electrons by a Fast Fermi mechanism, as evinced by reflected upstream beams similar to those observed at planetary bow shocks. We present Wind observations of loss cone electron distributions characteristic of Fast Fermi acceleration, and estimate the cross shock potential from the width of the loss cone. We also present evidence for and discuss the implications of mesoscale (several RE) curvature on interplanetary shock fronts, which creates `bays' where particles may be multiply reflected.
