The Charge-to-Mass Dependence of Solar Energetic Particle Spectral Breaks

Abstract

Measurements of the energy spectra of SEP events over a broad energy range (~0.1 to 100 MeV/nuc) show that all large SEP events have spectral beaks organized by the charge-to-mass ratio (Q/M) of the ions. In this paper we present preliminary results of a multi-spacecraft study of the Q/M-dependence of spectral breaks in 11 SEP events and investigate whether the deduced Q/M dependence is correlated with other characteristics of the events.
