Scientific paper

Based on data from the high-apogee satellite Prognoz-3, the April 29-30, 1973, solar particle event is analyzed. The event's complex energetic particle, interplanetary-magnetic-field, and solar-wind-plasma properties are discussed. The unusual behavior of solar particles up to energies of approximately 100 MeV can be explained well in terms of the interaction with an interplanetary shock-wave system passing earth. Assuming that the structure of the interplanetary shock-wave system is similar to that considered first by Parker (1961) and Gold (1959) and reviewed later by Hundhausen (1972) and Dryer (1974, 1975), the main characteristics of the energetic particle fluxes, solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field can be understood.
