| Abstract: | Satellite observations of solar proton events with a  halo structure or an energetic storm proton event and an SSC are studied. It is pointed out that some SSC events are associated with a decrease in the few MeV cosmic ray fluxes while most are associated with a flux increase. The properties of halo protons and energetic storm protons are compared. It is hypothesized that the two events are similar in origin. The propagation mode of storm particles is discussed. Evidence is presented for a solar, rather than interplanetary origin of storm protons. |
