The isotopic composition of solar flare accelerated neon
Abstract
The individual isotopes of neon in energetic solar flare particles have been clearly resolved with arms mass resolution of 0.20 amu. We find ^(20)Ne/^(22)Ne = 7.6 (+2.0, -1.8) and ^(21)Ne/^(22)Ne ≾ 0.11 in the 11-26 MeV per nucleon interval. This isotopic composition is essentially the same as that of meteoritic planetary neon-A and is significantly different from that of the solar wind.
