A description is given of plasma-dynamics measurements using the BIFRAM multichannel energy-angle-mass spectrometer in the Intershock program. An analysis is made of data obtained with high time resolution during the intersection of the front of a quasi-perpendicular turbulent shock wave on May 7, 1985: dynamic energy spectrograms of protons, alpha particles, and electrons; oscillations of the longitudinal and transverse components of the magnetic field and plasma flux; and fluctuations of ion and electron fluxes in narrow energy ranges. The following sequence of events at the shock front is identified: the appearance of high-frequency and low-frequency oscillations; heating of the electron component and deflection of the ion flux; a jump in the magnetic field and the formation of ion beams; and an extended region of relaxation for these beams and smoothing of the distribution function.
