Scientific paper

Selected observations of interplanetary acceleration events from ≡1 to 25 AU are presented and reviewed. These show frequent acceleration of ions to several tens of MeV in association with shocks. Examples of ion acceleration in association with corotating interaction regions are presented and discussed. It is shown that shock structures have profound effects on high-energy (≥70 MeV) cosmic rays, especially during solar minimum. The totality of observations demonstrate that local acceleration to a few hundred MeV, and as high as a few GeV is continually present throughout the heliosphere.
