Modeling of the Magnetic Turbulence Level and Source Function of Particle Injection from Multiple SEP Events

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are produced by solar eruptions and are harmful to spacecraft and astronauts. The four source function parameters of particle injection for SEP events and the magnetic turbulence level can be collectively referred to as key parameters. We reproduce the electron intensity-time profiles with simulations for five SEP events observed by multispacecraft such as ACE, STEREO-A, and STEREO-B, so we can obtain the five fitted key parameters for each of the events. We analyze the relationship among the five fitted key parameters, and also the relationship between these parameters and the observed event features. Thus, the model of key parameters are established. Next, we simulate another 12 SEP events with the key parameters model. Though the predicted electron intensity-time profiles do not fit the observed ones well, the peak flux and event-integrated fluence can be predicted accurately. Therefore, the model can be used to estimate the radiation hazards.
