The authors investigate the flow pattern of low-energy protons (35 - 1600 keV) associated with interplanetary shocks observed by ISEE-3 between August 1978 and April 1980. The analysis of the shape of the distribution function in the solar wind frame and its temporal evolution indicates that the low-energy protons can behave as a coherent, independent population of particles in the solar wind. Ahead of the shock this population propagates along the magnetic field in the same direction as the solar wind flow, while after the passage of the perturbed region associated with the shock, it propagates in the opposite sense. The behavior of the flow pattern of this population through the shock front is discussed for the 17 largest events observed in this period.
