<p>In our study we analyzing the fine structure of interplanetary shock wave fronts recorded by the BMSW experiment, installed onboard the SPEKTR-R satellite. The high time resolution of the spectrometer (0.031 s for the plasma flux magnitude and direction and 1.5 s for velocity, temperature, and density) makes it possible to study the internal structure of the IPs front.</p><p>BMSW experiment registered 55 IPs waves from 2011 to 2019. For 21 events (where the temperature was not very high), the parameters of twice-ionized helium (He++ or &#945;-particles) - density (absolute value and relative to protons content in the solar wind plasma), velocity, temperature. It is shown that the speed of He++ is slightly less (for about 5%) than the speed of protons, the relative density of He++ rarely exceeds 10%, and the temperature of He++ is about 2 times higher than the temperature of protons.</p><p>On the IPs front, short-term and significant (up to 20%) jumps in the relative density of He++ were detected in several events. No dependence was found between Mms/proton beta and He++ density changing after IPs front. However, we detected that the lower Qbn parameter is, the more the relative density of He++ falls behind the IPs front.</p>
