Ratios of heavy ion abundances show that spectral forms are virtually identical for species with a wide range if Q/M values intensities change by a factor of ~10^8 over range shown Mason et al., ApJ., 678, 1458, 2008 ratios wrt O for two cirs: left: CIR example showing spectral break, notice that the abundances not not change noticeably even though the intensities change by a factor of 10^8 over the range shown; right: CIR with just a steep spectrum, also see no significant changes over a smaller energy range. Compare with Cohen et al. 2005 JGR SEP event energy ranges; offset factors of 10 for various elements are same as in figure with plot of X/O vs Fe/C. INSET BOX: average of all 41 events for Fe/O, shows same small systematic rise from low to higher energies
