Abstract Energetic particles, ejected from the Sun during solar flare events, may encounter interplanetary plasma/field conditions, which deviate considerably from the quiet time values used normally to describe the particle propagation. This is due to the presence of a hydromagnetic shock, which is emitted from the Sun at the time of the explosion. In a theoretical blast wave model, which incorporates the interaction with plane polarized Alfvén waves, we have analysed the changes in different terms of the Fokker-Planck equation, which describes energetic particle propagation. In this treatment, the shock influence on energy changes and on the transport coefficients are discussed.
