Scientific paper

The ground level enhancement (GLE) of Easter (April 15) 2001 was the largest GLE of the current solar cycle, and it was also the first ma jor event to be observed with one-minute resolution by the full eleven-station Spaceship Earth network of neutron monitors. We derive particle density and anisotropy profiles and model them with numerical solutions of the Boltzmann equation. Particle transport was rather diffusive in this event, with a radial mean free path ˜ 0.2 AU. Particle injection onto the Sun-Earth field line began at 13:42 UT ±1 minute, 14 minutes before the first arrival of particles at Earth.
