Scientific paper

Interplanetary shock is one of the most powerful drivers of magnetic storms which often result in strong energetic particles enhancements and the Van Allen radiation belt compression in the magnetosphere. The elevated fluxes of the energetic particles have been proven to be number one threat to space technological systems. How these particles are accelerated is an important and active research subject in space physics. In this study we show that after an interplanetary shock impact on the magnetosphere, the acceleration of the energetic electrons started nearly immediately in the radiation belt and lasted a few hours.
