Understanding New Elements of Acceleration and Transport of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) from the Sun to the Earth

Authors: Stephen W Kahler; AIR FORCE RESEARCH LAB KIRTLAND AFB NM SPACE VEHICLES DIRECTORATE
Abstract:
This report summarizes the research results of this task which were published in four refereed journal articles. The three basic topics are: (1) Elemental abundances of solar energetic particles (SEPs) in various solar wind streams (Kahler et al., 2009; Reames et al., 2009); (2) Elemental abundances of ground-level events (GLEs) and their variations with solar burst parameters (Kahler et al., 2011); and (3) an interpretation of the Kiplinger Effect (Kahler, 2012).
