Observations from the HI-SCALE instrument on Ulysses of the ions and electrons associated with an interplanetary shock-pair at about 3.15 AU are presented. An empirical model is used to derive the evolution of the particle distribution in the solar wind frame. The forward shock is shown to be the primary source of ion acceleration, while the weaker and younger reverse shock is found to trap particles in its vicinity. There is also evidence of electron acceleration at the forward shock. We find evidence of multiple shock encounters for both ions and electrons.
