Scientific paper

A comprehensive study of the November 11/12, 1978 shock event based on energetic particle, solar wind, magnetic field and wave data from the ISEE-3, -1 and -2 spacecraft has been undertaken both from the energetic particles and the collisionless shock point of view. The energy density of 10 - 50 keV protons accelerated by the shock is found to be equivalent to the upstream magnetic field energy density. The observations are in quantitative agreement with Lee's (1983) self-consistent theory for the excitation of hydromagnetic waves and the acceleration of ions upstream of interplanetary shocks.
