Scientific paper

The Proton/Electron Telescope (PET) aboard the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particles Explorer (SAMPEX) satellite has measured light ions and electrons in low Earth orbit, both in the radiation belts and over the polar caps, since launch in July 1992. The instrument includes several channels that sense multi-MeV electrons with strong rejection of background; this enables us to observe these particles even during strong proton-dominated solar energetic particle (SEP) events. During a few events over the last solar activity cycle, notably the October/November 2003 events, we detect electrons with energies above 10 MeV. We will present a survey of SEP electron observations over the SAMPEX mission to date, including fluxes and spectral shapes.
