Scientific paper

For the period 1978 September to 1983 December, 67 solar particle events have been identified for which the instruments detected electrons above 3 MeV and for which there are soft X-ray observations. The events are divided into two classes impulsive and long-duration - based on their signature in soft X-rays, and it is found that they have different properties. The events originating with impulsive flares are associated with intensed meter-wavelength type III bursts with associated type V continuum. The events associated with long-duration flares can originate anywhere on the solar disk, extend to much higher proton energies, and are well associated with coronal and interplanetary shocks; for about half of the long-duration events, the associated meter-wavelength events do not include type III bursts. The results discovered by Evenson et al. (1984) and by Kahler et al. (1984) are extended.
