Scientific paper

Pioneer 11 high-time resolution, 1-min observations of energetic (about 1 MeV) proton events associated with the corotating interaction regions (CIR) are presented, together with pitch angle distributions and crude differential spectra in the energy range 0.6-3.4 MeV. The principal finding of the study is evidence for the persistent flow of protons with energies about 1 MeV away from CIR shocks. This evidence comes from the analysis of pitch angle distributions. The observations are found to be in good agreement with the hypothesis of local interplanetary shock acceleration.
