Session - Solar Energetic Particles: Data, Environments, Forecasting and Impact

P. Jiggens, D. Heynderickx, M. Marsh, M. Dierckxsens

The Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) environment is a critical component of specifications for spacecraft design and operations as a result of its impact on electronic components and materials, and is also a concern for human space flight and aviation due to increased radiation risks. There is increasing international momentum in the development of forecasting and alert systems for SEP events and deriving their characteristics on both short and long term basis. The outputs of these tools and research are intended for assimilation within civil aviation, human space flight, and satellite operations. However, it is not always clearly understood by the space weather community what parameters from space weather research/forecasts are desired by the end user concerned with the radiation impacts of SEPs, and their procedural impact on human spaceflight, aviation, satellite and other industrial operations.

This session invites contributions with a view to connecting the "beginning and end" aspects of SEP related space weather research and forecasts and their real world impact:

- Calibration, background subtraction, correction and comparisons radiation particle data;
- Research into the long-term SEP environment including interplanetary environments;
- Forecast SEP events over a range of timescales;
- Propagation through magnetospheres, spacecraft and biological shielding;
- Impacts of solar particle events on human activities, instruments, components, solar arrays technology and other physical effects.

A strong focus of the session shall be placed on information which can be provided and understood by the end user (be the spacecraft designers, spacecraft operators, the aviation industry or human space flight mission controllers) in order to satisfy their needs.
