Analyses of the time-integrated fluxes of solar energetic particle events during the period show that the differential distribution of events with flux F is given by a power law, with indices between 1.2 and 1.4 depending on energy. The power law represents a good fit over three to four orders of ma
Considerable confusion exists on what is the 'size' of a proton event. With the greatly improved sensitivity of detectors on satellites, it appears that almost every solar 'hiccup' is being reported as a solar proton event with the descriptive adjective 'large' being applied to events that are very
Solar proton events have been studied for over thirty years and a great deal of lore has grown around them. It is the purpose of this paper to test some of this lore against the actual data. Data on solar proton events now exist for the period from 1956 to 1985 during which time 140 events took plac
