Abstract

Using Monte Carlo method we have simulated solar cosmic ray spectra (3He, 4He, O and Fe) at the flare site and at the Earth. It is shown that besides stochastic acceleration by Alfvenic turbulence an impulsive electric field of the current sheet significantly affects the ion energy spectra at low energies. Both mechanisms could explain some peculiarities in the energy spectra of heavy ions observed in experiments onboard ACE.
