Scientific paper

We compare Voyager 1 (V1) and 2 (V2) low-energy (~0.03-4.0 MeV) ion intensities averaged over selected periods before and after encounters with the termination shock (TS). Comparisons made during three successive 78-day periods immediately behind the TS show marked evolution of intensities and spectral indices that differ at V1 and V2. By the third 78-day period, absolute intensities and spectral forms are comparable at V1 and V2, and the differential intensities are well fit by power laws with indices -1.53+/-0.03 and -1.41+/-0.04 respectively.
