Scientific paper

Two prominent phenomena observed during the course of a major solar flare are related to the injection of energetic particles over a wide range of energies into the interplanetary medium and the production of a shock wave. The present paper provides a detailed description of a quasiperpendicular shock event with energetic particle intensities which are among the highest observed at 1 AU. There is evidence that the bulk of the particles pass adiabatically through the shock without any appreciable acceleration. A shock-associated energetic particle enhancement, known as ESP event, is studied. The ESP event has several signatures which have not been reported earlier for other events. One of the discussed features is related to a jump in the energetic particle intensity by a factor of 2.7 at the shock over the full energy range of the instrument.
