We give a progress report on a new method of measuring the mean ionic charge states of solar energetic particles (SEPs) and apply this method to oxygen ions at energies of ~10 MeV/nucleon. We compare simultaneous flux measurements inside and outside the magnetosphere to determine the geomagnetic transmission and use this result to find the corresponding mean ionic charge state. The key to this method is to determine the dependence of the geomagnetic transmission function on the mean ionic charge state of the ions. We report here the results of a new technique to calculate the geomagnetic transmission function, which attempts to account for the cutoff suppression caused by the geomagnetic activity which often accompanies SEP events.
