Аннотация:With the developed by the authors of a ground
level enhancements events (GLE) modeling technique, the
modeling study of 35 large GLEs for the period 1956 – 2006
has been carried out. The basic characteristics of relativistic
solar protons (RSP) are obtained: a rigidity (energetic) spectrum,
anisotropy axis direction, and pitch angle distributions
for each event. It is shown that in nearly all events there existed
two components (population) of relativistic solar particles:
prompt and delayed. The prompt component (PC)
prevails in the beginning of the event. It is characterized by
an impulsive profile, strong anisotropy and exponential energetic
spectrum. The delayed component (DC) dominates
during maximum and decline phases of the events. It has a
gradual intensity profile, moderate anisotropy and a power
law energetic spectrum. The analysis of the large number
GLE shows the value of a characteristic energy in the exponential
spectrum of PC has rather stable meaning ~0.5 GeV
and well agrees with the spectrum of protons accelerated in
an electric field arising during the magnetic reconnection in
the solar corona. The value of a spectral exponent of the
power law spectrum of DC is distributed from 4 up to 6 with
most at 5. This is close to the simulated spectrum arising
in the process of stochastic acceleration in turbulent solar
plasma.
