AB: The leading edge of a fast CME is heated by a shock wave. The bulk CME plasma is not shocked, but it is heated by some as yet poorly constrained mechanism. We discuss recent results for the amounts of heating and the partition of the energy among different particle species both for shocks and for the plasma in the CME interior. We will also discuss the powerful diagnostics available for future spectroscopic missions.
