Cohen et al. (2005) found that all species from Ne to Fe could be remarkably well represented by shifting the O spectrum in energy and intensity. O Fe Cohen et al. (2005)
Q/M-Dependent Acceleration: The location of spectral breaks depends on the charge-to-mass ratio (Q/M) of the ion. This explains why large SEP events are Fe-poor for E > 10 MeV/nuc H He C Eo = 30 Break Energy (MeV/nuc) N O Ne Fe Theory by Li et al. 2005 Mg Si Eo = 3.5 Mewaldt et al. 2005
