Silicon to Iron Abundances in Solar Cosmic Rays and in the Sun
Abstract
Differential spectra of even charged nuclei between Si and Fe in the August 4, 1972 event are made in the energy region of 10 to 40 MeV/n using rocket borne plastic detectors. The resultant relative abundances of elements and low energy (E < 25 MeV/n) enhancements are obtained. Comparison with spectroscopically determined photospheric abundances is also made. The implications of these relative abundances on the acceleration mechanisms is discussed.
