AB: The SWEPAM experiment aboard the ACE spacecraft has observed approximately 300 solar electron bursts below 1.4 keV. These low energy solar electron bursts are detected on interplanetary field lines connected to, or surrounding, solar active regions and are usually associated with solar type III radio bursts. Detailed statistical analysis can aid in understanding the physical mechanisms governing the acceleration and transport of these suprathermal electrons. Here we report the statistics of the rise and decay times, as well as the energy and angle dispersion, of these bursts.
