Abstract
The characteristics of solar energetic particles (SEP) as observed in interplanetary space provide fundamental information about the origin of these particles, and the acceleration and propagation processes at the Sun and in interplanetary space. Furthermore, energetic particles provide information on the development and structure of coronal mass ejections as they propagate from the solar corona into the interplanetary medium. In this paper we review the measurements of energetic particles in interplanetary space and discuss their implication for our understanding of the sources, and of acceleration and propagation processes.Keywordssolar energetic particlesenergetic particle propagationenergetic particle accelerationenergetic particle compositionenergetic particle ionic charge statessolar electronsshock accelerationinterplanetary coronal mass ejections
