摘要：

Abrupt and prolonged enhancements in the intensities of 100 to similar to 2000 keV/nucleon protons and alpha particles observed in interplanetary space are interpreted as particle populations confined between an interplanetary shock front and a magnetic field discontinuity. Prominent intensity "spikes" observed only below similar to 400 keV per charge for both protons and alpha particles several hours behind the shock front suggest that some fraction of the confined particles is accelerated by an energy per charge dependent process.
