Abstract
Since its launch in August 1997, the Advanced Composition Explorer has been measuring the elemental, isotopic, and ionic charge-state composition of solar energetic particles with three new, high-resolution instruments (SEPICA, SIS, and ULEIS). These studies span the energy range from ~20 keV/nucleon to >100 MeV/nucleon, and include elements from He to Ni (2≤Z≤28). This paper reviews early highlights of these investigations and discusses the implications for theories of the origin, acceleration, and transport of solar energetic particles.
