Using data from the Polar spacecraft, the highly elliptical orbit 1997-068 (HEO) spacecraft, and the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX), we have examined the impact of 11 large solar energetic particle (SEP) events on the inner zone radiation belts of the Earth. The 11 SEP events, which occurred between 4~April 2000 and 31~May 2002, are associated with the formation of new radiation belts with L values between approximately 2.0 and 3.5 . We have investigated the elemental composition and other characteristics of the new radiation belts at energies of ~~1--10~MeV/nucleon, and have summarized these observations. We have also examined the compositional and spectral properties of the 11 SEP events, as well as concurrent geomagnetic and interplanetary conditions, to determine how these parameters influence the effects of SEP events on the Earth's radiation belts. We discuss the relevance of these observations in modeling the effects of SEP events on the inner zone radiation belts. This work was supported through NASA grant NAS5--30368 and by cooperative agreement Z628302 between the University of Maryland and the Aerospace Corporation, funded through NASA grant NAG5--2963.
