摘要

We perform a statistical analysis of 112 proton events from 24 November 2000 to 20 December 2014, accompanied by an increase in the intensity of solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energy E p > 1 $E_{p} > 1$ –850 MeV using GOES data. All events were accompanied by metric type II radio bursts in the frequency range of 25–180 MHz observed with the Radio Solar Telescope Network. A correlation in the peak proton integral intensity I p $I_{p}$ with the intensity of type II radio bursts I i $I_{i}$ and the frequency drift rate V $V$ is shown. Taking into account the helio-longitudinal weakening, i.e. the dependence of SEP intensity on the heliographic longitude of the flare, we find that the correlation coefficients between I p $I_{p}$ and I i $I_{i}$ , as well as between I p $I_{p}$ and V $V$ for protons with E p > 30 $E_{p} > 30$  MeV are 0.79 and 0.71, respectively. This suggests that non-thermal electrons, which drive type II radio bursts, and energetic protons are generated at the front of the same shock wave. The correlation coefficients mentioned above decrease for E p 100 $E_{p} \gtrsim100$  MeV. Therefore, the contribution of high energetic protons to the integral intensity I p $I_{p}$ is rather determined by accelerated processes in the flare energy release region. The weak dependence of SEP intensity on the helio-longitudinal weakening is discussed.
