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 2000 February 11 using an injection energy of 1.7 keV. Data for immediately after the shock from the PESA-High instrument on Wind and the EPAM instrument on ACE are overplotted.
