Rocket observations of solar protons during the November 1960 events: 2.

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research
Rocket observations of solar protons made from Fort Churchill during the Novembe1' 15, 1960, event are described. Four spectra showing a flattening toward the threshold energy of 4.0 Mev and a rise at even lower energies are given. The decay of intensity was observed to be proportional to 1/T³. above an energy of 100 Mev. A plot of the riometer observation against the integral intensity of solar protons above 10 and 100 Mev for eight rocket shots is given. Information concerning the presence of a large intensity of alpha particles about 2000 UT on November 16 is presented, and the general interpretation of the Novenaber 15 event is discussed. (auth)
