Scientific paper
An investigation is presented on the properties of a well-defined energetic particle population in interplanetary space: protons in the energy range 30 to 1600 keV. Among the aspects of the study considered are: (1) the nature of the Low Energy Proton experiment aboard the ISEE-3 satellite; (2) the traces of the magnetic field connection paths at the ISEE-3 position in question; (3) the beam-like flow of particles along the magnetic field during an upstream burst event from the direction of the earth; (4) the intensity increase of low-energy proton fluxes caused by the passage of the interplanetary shock wave; (5) the sudden proton flux decrease when energized proton-impenetrable, sudden magnetic field changes were swept past the satellite; and (6) the energy spectrum of solar wind and energetic protons, showing continuity between the two populations over many orders of magnitude in intensity and energy: implying a solar wind source of particles energized in interplanetary space.
