Solar flare cosmic-ray event of May 4, 1960

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research
A sudden increase of cosmic-ray intensity was observed May 4, 1960, at approximately 10:30 UT by several cosmic-ray detectors. This increase was due to the production of high-energy-charged particles near the sun associated with solar flares of importance plus three observed near the west limb of the sun at 10:15 UT. (N.W.R.)
