Energy Dependence of Solar Energetic Protons and Their Origin in Solar Cycles 23 and 24
The study presents the compilation of a comprehensive catalog of solar energetic protons (SEPs) in solar cycles (SCs) 23 and 24 (1996–2019) in 10 energy channels from about 20 to 100 MeV based on data from the Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron (ERNE) instrument aboard Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). For comparison, we added previously reported SEP fluxes by a number of different sources. We identified the SEP-solar origin in terms of solar flares and coronal mass ejections and calculated the statistical correlations (Pearson and partial) as a function of the SEP energy.
