Abstract
In order to study the propagation of solar cosmic rays in interplanetary space a computer program has been developed using a Monte-Carlo technique, which traces the histories of particles released impulsively at the Sun. The particle propagation model considers the adiabatic deceleration during the convective and diffusive transport of the particles, and the model of the interplanetary medium incorporates a radially expanding blast wave which exerts a sweeping action on the particles and accelerates them through the first-order Fermi process. It is shown that energetic storm particle events cannot be simulated by assuming a pure sweeping action of the interplanetary blast wave, but that energization of the particles while reflected at the shock can explain many observed features of such events.
