Abstract
Energy spectra of the He isotopes and the energy dependence of the ^3He/^4He ratio during a number of impulsive solar energetic particle events (SEP) observed between September 1997 and December 1998 are analyzed. Data covering the energy range from 0.1 to 10 MeV/amu were supplied by three instruments with complementary energy ranges: the Solar Energetic Particle Ionic Charge Analyzer (SEPICA) and the Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS) on ACE, and the time-of-flight mass spectrometer HSTOF on SOHO. We confirm the trend of a monotonic increase of the 3He abundance with energy up to a maximum in the region of a few MeV/amu found in previous ISEE studies and extend the analysis to events of intermediate 3He enrichment. We briefly discuss the observational data and their relation to existing theoretical work on selection and acceleration mechanisms in impulsive flares.
