Abstract

The Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS), an instrument on board the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), measures solar energetic particle (SEP) elemental and isotopic abundances during solar events. During solar quiet times, SIS measures isotopes of low-energy cosmic rays from the Galaxy and isotopes of the anomalous cosmic ray component. The heavy element content at ~10-20 MeV /nuc of two SEP events with large enhancements (>400x) of the ^3He/^4He ratio relative to coronal composition has been studied. We find heavy element abundance ratios which are consistent with those derived from past studies of ^3He-rich events within statistical limitations.
