Energetic particle populations in the heliosphere

Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) Events “Small”Event Spatial Size “Big” ~hoursDuration~days ~1000 / year over the whole SunFrequency at Solar Max ~10 / year Restricted to magnetically-connected longitudes, ~W30-W80 Source LocationOver the whole Sun ~1.0Event-Integrated Fe/O ~ x – 1000x enhancements *Trans-Fe (30 < Z < 82) Nominal coronal values ~16-20 Fe Charge States ~10-14 ~ 1 3He/4He~ Resonant wave-particle interactions at Flare/Reconnection Site Acceleration Mechanism Shock, driven by fast CME

SEPs at Earth Satellites Radiation Health Ground based systems Supra- thermals Ambient Corona and Solar Wind Previous SEP accelerated material (Remnants) Seed Particles Coronal & Interplanetary Shocks (Fast CMEs) Statement of the problem Complicated recipe: Mixed ingredients Particle Transport Diffusive acceleration Particle-Plasma Wave Interactions

More complications: Large elemental abundance variability within Gradual events. A zoo of energy spectra (spectral breaks!). Big Questions still not answered: Acceleration mechanisms? [shocks, flares] Transport effects? [elemental abundances/spectra] Accelerated material? [Coronal/SW, Flare]

(Mewaldt et al., 2001 AIP conference Proceedings 598, 165) Seed particles?

Instrumentation Ultra Low Energy Isotope Spectrometer (ULEIS): Launched onboard ACE on August 25, 1997 Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer Measured species: Protons to Gold Energy range: 45 keV to few MeV/nuc Instrument geometrical factor: ~1.3 cm 2 sr Supra Thermal Energetic Particle Telescope (STEP): Launched onboard Wind on November 1, 1994 Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer Measured species: Protons to Fe Energy range: ~30 keV to ~2 MeV/nuc Instrument geometrical factor: 2 x 0.4 cm 2 sr

Data Set: Survey of 52 Gradual events at the suprathermal energy range 45 well detected by Wind and ACE of which 32 have known solar liftoff location Selection Criteria: Temporal intensity profile Velocity dispersion Excluded: Shocks, upstream events, saturation times Work being done MeV/nuc

C/O at low energies: F C F NO F Ne Correction Matrix

Solar Cycle variation of C/O, NeS/O, and Fe/O at MeV/nuc  Clear dependence on the solar cycle Solid plot: 27-day running average Symbols: Annual averages

Solar Cycle Compositional Variation in SEP events  No dependence on the solar cycle  Large event-to-event fluctuations  Remnant flare signature

C/O and Fe/O Energy dependence  constant C/O  Fe/O decreases with increasing energy  Rigidity effect

Case study: STEP and ULEIS C/O data at MeV/nuc  Why such a large difference ?

Case study: STEP and ULEIS C/O data at MeV/nuc  Why such a large difference ?

Case study: STEP and ULEIS C/O data at MeV/nuc  Not an azimuthal effect  Efficiency check?

Summary 1.C/O, NeS/O, and Fe/O daily variations show solar cycle dependence at low energies (0.08 MeV/nuc to 0.32 MeV/nuc). 2.LSEPs C/O and Fe/O ratios show large event-to-event fluctuations and no dependence on the solar cycle or solar longitude. 3.At solar maximum, ACE\ULEIS measures a high C/O values compared to Wind\STEP; the difference is on the order of 30%. This difference does not appear to be an azimuthal sampling or instrumental effect; more investigation will be done in the near future. 4.C/O stays constant with increasing energy while Fe/O decreases. We suggest that this behavior is due to acceleration preference based on rigidity effects where the higher the rigidity (Fe), the lower the acceleration efficiency.
