Current measurements of solar energetic particles (SEPs) are more comprehensive than ever before, spanning orders of magnitude in energy and intensity, covering electrons and ions from H to Ni, and made at locations throughout the heliosphere and around the Sun. This talk will review the current capabilities and measurement techniques employed to create this wealth of information and...

Gradual solar energetic particle events are thought to be due to diffusive particle acceleration at coronal mass ejection driven shocks. By contrast, impulsive events are associated typically with particle acceleration somehow associated with solar flares and impulsive events low in the solar corona. Other events exhibit characteristics of both impulsive and gradual events, sometimes called...
