Abstract
Spacecraft measurements of energetic electrons in the vicinity of the Earth's bow shock and interplanetary shocks are analyzed and compared with theoretical calculations. It is concluded that shock drift acceleration of electrons is very modified by an additional process, probably by strong pitch angle scattering. Calculations including this effect are presented.
