This chapter covers the theory of physical processes in the outer heliosphere that are particularly important for the IBEX Mission, excluding global magnetohydrodynamic/Boltzmann modeling of the entire heliosphere. Topics addressed include the structure and parameters of the solar wind termination shock, the transmission of ions through the termination shock including possible reflections at the shock electrostatic potential, the acceleration and transport of suprathermal ions and anomalous cosmic rays at the termination shock and in the heliosheath, charge-exchange interactions in the outer heliosphere including mass and momentum loading of the solar wind, the transport of interstellar pickup ions, and the production and anticipated intensities of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in the heliosphere.
