Caption: Figure 2.
Constructed upstream Maxwellian distribution derived from the observed plasma distribution ahead of the shock and the associated accelerated distribution (dotted line) using Equation (7) for 2002 July 17 assuming an injection energy of 1.5 keV. Data taken immediately after the shock from the EPAM instrument on ACE are overplotted.
