The formation of shock-spike events by the single-encounter, shock-drift acceleration of charged particles at quasi-perpendicular interplanetary shocks is considered. Analytic expressions are derived that express a particle's preshock-interaction kinetic energy and pitch angle (or pitch cosine) in terms of its postshock-interaction energy and pitch angle. The expressions relating a particle's initial and final states are used with different forms of the initial or ambient particle population to construct intensity enhancements, energy spectra and pitch angle distributions for comparison with spacecraft observations of shock-associated particle distributions. The intensity enhancement morphologies, energy spectra, and angular distributions predicted from the single-encounter model are found to be consistent with many spacecraft observations of shock-spike events.
