Description
We report an analysis of Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events registered by the PAMELA satellite experiment, based on the reconstruction of particle trajectories in the geomagnetic field using realistic models of the Earth's magnetosphere. PAMELA measurements (> 70 MeV) span an energy interval inclusive of the gap region between high energy data from ground-based detectors and low energy observations from spacecrafts. The trajectory tracing approach is applied to the study of SEPs exploiting for the first time direct measurements, providing detailed information about SEP shape and morphology.
