7807 Charged Particle Motion And Acceleration, 2139 Interplanetary Shocks

Scientific paper

On September 25, 2001, GEOTAIL observed a high Mach number (MA ~12) strong interplanetary shock at around 20:25UT on the dawnside of the bow shock. We report that drift accelerated ions are observed in the very front of the interplanetary shock for the first time. The interpretation is supported by the fact that the shock angle falls in the quasi-perpendicular regime and the direction of the induced electric field coincides with that of the reflected ions. We present a comparative study of the accelerated ions with the classical model of specular reflection.
