1 HOW TO PROBE SHOCK GEOMETRY
ACE/SOHO/STEREO/WIND workshop Kennebunk, Maine, June 8th – June 10th, 2010 Gang Li

2 The question: how do we probe shock geometry when they are mostly efficient in accelerating particles close to the Sun? Acceleration at quasi-parallel and quasi-perpendicular shocks are different Acceleration time scale is given by kappa_par and kappa_perp, which are decided by different physical processes.

3 Heavy ion spectra not featureless Break is (Q/M) dependence
