The 1998 September 9 solar particle event was a 3He-rich solar particle event that showed a strong increase of Fe ionization states in the energy range below 1 MeV nucleon-1. We have investigated this event by fitting Wind and ACE observations using a model of acceleration and stripping near the Sun, followed by particle transport in the interplanetary medium taking into account particle focusing, pitch-angle scattering, adiabatic deceleration, and convection. The simulation provides a reconstruction of the injection function of the energetic particles released from the Sun and their time, energy, and charge dependence. We find that electrons and Fe ions are injected almost impulsively, whereas the injection of protons takes place on a much longer timescale or even consists of two distinct injection processes. We are able to obtain good overall fits to the observations. This suggests that our model can be used to obtain information about the conditions in the acceleration region such as density, temperature, and the timescales of the acceleration process, if sufficiently accurate modeling of the particle transport in the solar wind is possible.
