It is pointed out that collisionless shocks may be responsible for much of the particle acceleration which occurs in the interplanetary medium. The present investigation is concerned with the conditions for acceleration of particles by interplanetary shocks near 1 AU. Interplanetary shocks near 1 AU have large scale sizes, radii of curvature on the order of 1 AU, or about 1000 times the size of the earth's bow shock. At the considered heliocentric distance the shocks are primarily associated with solar flares and/or solar coronal transients. Observations of magnetic fields, solar wind plasma, and energetic ions and electrons from the ISEE 3 spacecraft are used to study the interplanetary shocks occurring in the period from launch in August 1978 through November 1979. Attention is given to the method of analysis, the determination of the normal to the shock, and energetic particle results.
