Summary of the ACE SWEPAM and EPAM data sets for 11 interplanetary shocks at 1 AU. The observed upstream SWEPAM data are used to construct the input Maxwellian thermal solar wind distribution for which the injection energy and spectrum of energetic particles (dashed line) is computed theoretically. Additionally, the κ-distribution for κ = 10 and corresponding energetic particles (dotted lines) are also computed. EPAM data are overplotted for 10 minutes before (black) and after (red) the shock arrival time.
