...(2005b, 2008) also found that the so-called GLE events were associated with ∼30 % of the very energetic CMEs with kinetic energies 1.2 × 1032 ergs (also see Gopalswamy 2006). The largest SEP events are associated with the fastest ∼1–2 % of CMEs. The CMEs have typical speeds >1500 km/s, although a few have speeds as low as ∼700–800 km/s (Kahler 2001). Figure 9 compares the mass (left) and energy (right) distributions of all CMEs (in blue) with those associated with 23 of the 50 largest SEP events (in red) from solar cycle 23. Similarly, Yurchyshyn et al. (2005) found that the distributions of the plane-of-sky-speeds for >4000 CMEs, whether they are accelerating or decelerating, showed no physical distinction and exhibited log-normal forms similar to the ones shown in Fig....
