We present observational evidence for self-consistent wave-particle interaction upstream of the main interplanetary traveling shock driven by the Bastille Day coronal mass ejection. Spectra of protons in the energy range 300 keV to 2 MeV derived from SOHO/CELIAS/HSTOF data and the power spectral densities of the magnetic field fluctuations measured by the magnetometer onboard ACE are consistent with theoretical predictions on coupled hydromagnetic wave excitation by protons with asymmetric distribution near interplanetary traveling shocks. We discuss theoretical models and apply them to describe the generation of turbulent plasma waves in the outer heliosphere by Anomalous Cosmic Rays. These waves mediate the termination shock, which has impact on its structure and location.
