The goal of the project is to identify the individual contribution of flares vs. CMEs to the resultant flux of solar energetic particles by means of observations.
Different working hypotheses will be tested: there is one primary particle accelerator for the entire SEP population; there is a mixed contribution from flares and CMEs that vary from event to event; the injection and transport processes are the dominant factors compared to acceleration.
Large statistical studies will be complemented with detailed event analysis (using also data from the Russian satellites Vernov and CORONAS-F SONG and from the ground-based Rozhen observatory in Bulgaria).
