摘 要:As interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) shock propagates from the sun to a large radial distance, it continuously accelerates particles up to many MeV. Based on a numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck transport equation, we obtained intensity and anisotropy time profiles of interplanetary shock accelerated particles propagating in the three-dimensional Parker interplanetary magnetic field. We describe the shock as a moving source of energetic particles, and treat shock acceleration process as black box. With perpendicular diffusion, the energetic particles moving in the interplanetary space can across field lines. Our simulations show that many important properties of Solar Energetic Particle(SEP) flux, including the onset time, peak time, peak intensity, decay ratio, and duration, are significantly influenced by the effect of perpendicular diffusion. By including the perpendicular diffusion, we reproduce longitudinal and latitudinal uniformity of SEP fluxes. Furthermore, we will compare our numerical results with spacecraft observations.
