Description

During the experiment with the magnetic spectrometer MARIA-2 on board the station MIR, in October 30-31, 1991 after a solar flare of class 3B the high energy proton flux and the energy spectrum of solar origin was measured. In the energy range 30-100 MeV it has a power law shape with the spectral index of about 3. Near 300 MeV the spectrum cuts off sharply. A comparison of the experimental spectrum with the results of the satellite GOES-7 and with the data of the experiment LYULIN on board the orbital station MIR was performed. There is good agreement between the MARIA-2 data and the GOES-7 data. (author)
