Detection of Energetic Particle Events with SOHO Space Observatory
Abstract
An analysis of eighteen solar energetic particle (SEP) events measured with the EPHIN instrument on board the SOHO spacecraft has been performed. Via parametrization of temporal profiles, differences among events have been shown by the temporal profile parameters obtained. The detected differences are found to depend on the particle acceleration, the magnetic connection with the acceleration zone and the interplanetary physical characteristics transport to the observing point.
