摘要
Using the Solar Isotope Spectrometer on the Advanced Composition Explorer, we have examined the similar to10-20 MeV/nucleon elemental and isotopic composition of heavy (Zgreater than or equal to6) energetic nuclei accelerated in 30 small solar energetic particle (SEP) events which occurred between 31 March 1998 and 2 January 2001. We have measured the average heavy element content, the Ne-22/Ne-20 ratio, and the Mg-26/Mg-24 ratio in these events, and find good agreement with past studies. We have categorized the events according to their He-3/He-4 ratios, and find significant enhancements in the neutron-rich heavy isotopes of Ne and Mg in the combined He-3-rich data set: Ne-22/Ne-20=0.17+/-0.05 and Mg-26/Mg-24=0.25+/-0.05. We discuss the implications of these measurements for the acceleration of energetic nuclei in SEP events.
