Scientific paper

Pioneer 11 observations of energetic proton acceleration in interplanetary shocks are in good agreement with the predictions of the Vector-V x Vector-B electric field model of shock acceleration. The Vector-V x Vector-B model predicts that relativistic particles are accelerated by a factor of 2-15 in kinetic energy during a single encounter with a quasi-perpendicular (not less than 70 deg) supernova shock wave, and that the post-encounter pitch angle distributions are very anisotropic.
