  Here is reported in situ observation of energetic electrons (~100-500 keV)
associated with magnetic reconnection in the solar wind by the ACE and Wind
spacecraft. The properties of this magnetic cloud driving reconnection and the
associated energetic electron acceleration problem are discussed. Further
analyses indicate that the electric field acceleration and Fermi type mechanism
are two fundamental elements in the electron acceleration processes and the
trapping effect of the specific magnetic field configuration maintains the
acceleration status that increases the totally gained energy.
