Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) accelerated during and after a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) produce radiation hazards on
board manned and unmanned spacecraft that are not shielded by the Earth's magnetic field. To investigate the particle
acceleration by the shock wave which arises from the CME and a subsequent SEPs transport in the realistic magnetic field, a
realistic magnetic field near the Sun and in the inner heliosphere should be taken into account. To achieve this, we coupled
the available MHD model for CME, which is based on the BATSRUS code, to the kinetic code for SEP using Field-Line-Advection
Model for a Particle Acceleration (FLAMPA). The FLAMPA assumes coronal and interplanenetary magnetic fields to be ideally
frozen into a moving plasma and neglects the cross-field particle diffusion, however it involves the first order Fermi
acceleration, particle adiabatic focusing and SEP scattering by a hydromagnetic turbulence.
In this presentation we compare the SEP flux at 1 AU obtained with two alternative models for CME dynamics (using the
Gibson-Low model or applying a slow sheared plasma motion to create a flux rope) and with two SEP models (averaged or not
averaged by the particle pitch-angle). Comparing with the data observed at 1 AU after the 1998 May,2 event, we validate the
models. The SEP acceleration in repetitive CME events will be provided too.
