Abstract

The differential energy spectrum of solar protons from the flare of May 4, 1960, has been measured in emulsions during a balloon flight from 1700 UT on May 4 to 0200 UT on May 5. An increased flux of protons of rigidity 0.7 to 1.6 bv of 600 ± 150 particles/cm2.sec.ster was measured. The differential rigidity spectrum in this interval can be expressed as d N d R = ( 0.65 ± 0.15 ) × 10-3 R 1.1 ± 0.5 protons / m 2 . sec . ster . by There were no solar α particles present during this time. The flux of Z ≥ 3 nuclei was normal.
