After ionization in the solar wind, He+ ions of the interstellar origin are expected to be accelerated at heliospheric shocks (the terminating shock, CIR shocks, and planetary bow shocks), and to become the seed population for anomalous cosmic rays. Although there are many theoretical attempts to treat the `injection' process of these picked-up helium ions at these shocks, there have been few direct observational evidence. In this report we present the results of the case study of an event in which picked-up He+ ions were reflected and accelerated at the earth's bow shock.
