Abstract
Using data from the SIS and ULEIS instruments on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) we have identified periods during which energetic ^3He is present in near-Earth interplanetary space between November 1997 and May 2002. The data, which cover the energy intervals 0.2–1 MeV/nuc (ULEIS) and 4.5–16.3 MeV/nuc (SIS), show that ^3He is present a significant fraction of the time, as would be required if these suprathermal particles were the major source of the ^3He being accelerated by shocks in the interplanetary medium. Specifically, we find that energetic ^3He is present at least ~ 60% of the time, and perhaps significantly more often.
