The Energetic Particle Detector system EPA/EPONA onboard Giotto detects ions and electrons with energies greater than 20 keV in various energy channels. In this paper, electron fluxes are presented together with data from the Giotto Magnetometer Experiment. Electrons >180 keV were recorded from the transit of the foreshock, inbound, until the last observation outbound at approximately 03:00 UT on 15 March 1986. Energy spectra for the inbound pass are shown. One flux enhancement in the >300 keV channel and several in the >180 keV channel were recorded outbound. Possible acceleration mechanisms for the energetic electrons are considered.
