Solar-Energetic-Particle Track-Production Rates at 1 au: Comparing In-situ Particle Fluxes with Lunar Sample-Derived Track Densities

A. R. Poppe, P. S. Szabo, E. R. Imata +2

Heavy (Z>26) solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies ~1 MeV/nucleon are known to leave visible damage tracks in meteoritic materials. The density of such solar flare tracks…
