Scientific paper

An assessment is presented of recent observations providing insights into the collisionless shock ion acceleration process as it is observed near the earth's bow shock and near interplanetary shocks generated by solar activity, with emphasis on the way in which the ion acceleration process appears to be the same for both types of shocks. The observed differences in energetic particle distributions found near these shocks appear to be related to the seed populations available for acceleration, the shock's extent, radius of curvature, and the angle beween the local shock normal and the magnetic field vector, the time of field line connection to the shock, and possibly the shock Mach number.
