Scientific paper

A theory for the self-consistent configuration of upstream hydromagnetic waves, upstream energetic storm particle (ESP) events, and downstream postshock ion enhancements at interplanetary traveling shocks is presented. The observations of upstream ultralow frequency waves and those ESP events and postshock enhancements which exhibit approximately isotropic ion distributions in the solar wind or shock frame are briefly reviewed. The theory of Lee (1982) for application to interplanetary traveling shocks is modified and analytical solutions for the wave spectrum as a function of wavenumber and z are presented along with the ion omnidirectional distribution functions as functions of energy and z for all ion species. The theory quantitatively explaines the observed features of the shock-associted energetic ions and predicts the configuration of upstream hydromagnetic waves.
