Abstract:
A recent model of solar energetic particle propagation suggests that large fluxes of protons may produce their own turbulence. To verify this theoretical prediction it becomes essential to find out whether these fluxes cause appreciable changes in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) fluctuation regime. It is also important to check if the suggested optimum conditions for wave production are consistent with observational evidence. In the present work we perform a study of directional power and magnetic helicity spectra of the IMF fluctuations from a few hours before to a few hours after the maximum flux of 4-13 MeV protons observed on board the two Helios spacecraft during eight solar events. The time evolution of the directional power and helicity spectra show increases which may be associated with the solar energetic proton (SEP) flux in two of the analysed events. In one event, we present a decrease of turbulence and helicity coincident with the maximum flux of SEP may also admit an interpretation in terms of self-generated waves. The existence of solar wind phenomena such as sector boundaries or interplanetary shocks obscure possible signatures of proton self-generated waves in two events. One event with a low level of turbulence previous to the arrival of particles shows no turbulence increase which might be associated with them. The remaining two events show no evidence of particle-generated turbulence, but the conditions on which these were observed do not fulfil some assumptions of the model.
