A series of energetic storm particle (ESP) events is investigated on the basis of observations of energetic solar protons by IMPs IV and V between 1967 and 1972. The total number and energy of particles associated with 20 ESP events are analyzed in connection with several plasma parameters at the shock surface; i.e., magnetic and thermal pressure, magnetic field and plasma mass flux. Correlation is established between the total energy of ESPs in the energy range of 1-80 MeV and the jump in the total pressure. It is pointed out that the amount of shock energy converted to the acceleration of ESP particles is not negligible and could, in principle, contribute to the deceleration of the shock wave.
