Collisionless Shocks as a Diagnostic Tool for Understanding Energetic Particle Transport in Space Plasmas

We study the transport of energetic particles accelerated at three different shock events observed in the solar wind by the ACE spacecraft. We consider particle propagation for a quasi-parallel, an oblique, and a quasi-perpendicular shock. The transport regime is deduced from the shape of the energe...
