Abstract EN

Solar energetic particles (SEP) are believed to originate from two different sources, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

The large SEP events constitute a serious radiation hazard.

The high-energy solar proton data obtained from NOAA Space Environment Services Center are used to investigate some statistical properties such as speed, apparent width, acceleration, latitude, mass, kinetic energy, and occurrence rate of SEP effective CMEs observed during the period 1997–2006 covering the solar cycle 23.

It is found that SEP effective CMEs are nearly halo in nature, and they follow solar cycle variation.

Such CMEs have higher speeds than those of non-SEP effective CMEs.
