Survey of helium isotope abundance data (1997--2005) measured with the Ultra-Low-Energy Isotope Spectrometer (ULEIS) on the Advanced Composition Explorer ( ACE) has revealed multiday periods of 3He-rich solar energetic particles (SEPs) in the energy range of ~0.4--10 MeV nucleon-1 with 3He/4He~0.1--1. We analyze 17 periods, where there were good counting statistics, using also in situ measurements of solar wind at ACE and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory ( SOHO) along with solar observations by SOHO telescopes, to study coronal and interplanetary magnetic field structures associated with multiday periods of 3He-rich SEPs. Then we employ a simple model of corotating compression in solar wind to estimate possible effect of observed solar wind profiles on confinement of 3He- rich SEPs in interplanetary magnetic field structures, which indicates that the large-scale compressions in solar wind is one of significant factors contributing to occurrence of multiday periods of 3He-rich SEPs.
