Abstract:During the solar flares protons and heavier ions are accelerated up to GeV energies. Accelerated ions can escape the Sun and be registered directly on spacecraft or penetrate into the solar atmosphere and then produce gamma-ray lines as the result of nuclear reactions. Previous studies revealed very poor correlation between fluxes of interplanetary ions and gamma-ray line emission. In this work we focus on joint observations of interplanetary solar energetic particles registered by PAMELA experiment and gamma-… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
