Scientific paper

The following characteristics of solar energetic particles are investigated: the basic composition pattern of heavy ions which is similar to that of solar corona; He-3 rich events; and rapid ion acceleration to relativistic energies. It is found that large amplitude magnetosonic waves in a magnetohydrodynamic turbulence can produce high energy ions with elemental composition similar to that of background plasma. It is also shown that, in the presence of ion cyclotron waves or oblique ion acoustic waves with frequencies near the He-3 cyclotron frequency, magnetosonic waves can cause He-3 enrichments.
