Renewal: New Aspects of Acceleration and Transport of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) from the Sun to the Earth

Abstract

This report summarizes the research results of this task which were published in eleven refereed journal articles. The seven basic topics are: (1) Effects of coronal holes on properties of SEP events (Kahler et al., 2013, 2014); (2) Size distributions and scaling laws of solar flares and SEP events (Cliver et al., 2012; Kahler, 2013); (3) SEP event timescales and associated CME properties (Kahler, 2013); (4) Comparison of the intensities and energies of gradual SEP events with the dynamical properties of associated CMEs (Kahler and Vourlidas, 2013); (5) The roles of interacting CMEs and solar wind streams in SEP events (Kahler and Vourlidas, 2014a,b); (6) The cosmogenic nuclide event of 775 AD (Cliver et al., 2014) ; and (7) Abundance enhancements and CME associations of Fe-rich impulsive SEP events (et al., 2014a,b) .
