Abstract
Taking as basis my dimensional solution of the propagation equation of solar cosmic rays in interplanetary space and using the equivalent diffusion coefficient found from observed data on solar protons, I discuss the effects of propagation on the hydrogen-to-hellum ratio Including its variation with the speed of the solar wind and with location in space. After eliminating the variations with solar distance and energy from the HEOS and PIONEER data collected by Perron et al., this ratio will be seen to increase with the magnetic longitude of the parent flare. The Initial value of the hydrogen-to-helium ratio at the Sun's surface, obtained after applying the corrections for propagation, is close to the value in the solar wind.
