Analysis of a gradual Solar Energetic Particle event

Treballs Finals de Grau de Física, Facultat de Física, Universitat de Barcelona, Any: 2014, Tutor: Blai SanahujaThis present paper is concerned about the analysis of a solar energetic particle (SEP) event. Those particles are associated to solar activity. A particular event is studied, and by applying the theoretical laws through some calculations, its solar origin is found. Hence the original solar activity, which was the cause of the SEP event, is confirmed. If a solid theory between solar activity and SEP is established, the forecasting of the space weather would be possible, and this way allowing the prevention of damage on satellites, spacecrafts, astronauts during spacewalks; or even in Earth systems such as commercial aeroplanes or antennas
