Solar Energetic Particle Track-production Rates at 1 au: Comparing In Situ Particle Fluxes with Lunar Sample-derived Track Densities
Heavy ( Z > 26) solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies ∼1 MeV nucleon ^−1 are known to leave visible damage tracks in meteoritic materials. The density of such “solar flare tracks” in lunar and asteroidal samples has been used as a measure of a sample’s exposure time to space, yielding cr...
