The fast Fermi mechanism can, in general, explain the origin of energetic electrons upstream of the quasi-perpendicular bow shock and give reasonable levels of their fluxes. A more detailed analysis, however, shows that energetic electrons (Ee > 10 keV) have a harder spectrum and lower anisotropy than predicted values and they are also observed at pitch angles close to 90° where reflected electrons could not be present.
