Abstract

A predicted pattern of energy vs detector location in the cislunar region is displayed for proton guiding‐centers traveling upstream away from the quasi‐parallel bow shock. The pattern is implied by upstream wave boundary properties deduced by Diodato et al. (1976). In the solar ecliptic, protons are estimated to have a minimum of 1.1 times the solar wind bulk energy ESW when the wave boundary is in the early morning sector and a maximum of 8.2 ESW when the boundary is near the predawn flank.
