Abstract: The process of propagation in the interplanetary space of the cosmic rays accelerated during the solar flare on January 20, 2005 is investigated on the basis of kinetic equation. The instantaneous and prolonged particle injection in the interplanetary medium is considered. On the basis of analytical solution of the kinetic equation it was shown that under instantaneous particle injection the sharp increase of cosmic ray intensity on the Earth orbit occurs, whereas the cosmic ray density increases gradually in the case of the prolonged particle injection. The dynamics of solar cosmic ray energetic distribution was analyzed. |
