One bit of clarification on particles moving in a magnetic field. Protons, electrons, and other charged particles follow the lines of the Sun's magnetic field as they propagate outward. This field fluctuates constantly and any volume of plasma ejected from the solar surface will typically include some trapped magnetic field lines. Particles embedded in the magnetic fields follow curved trajectories, radiating RF energy as they do. At the time such a plasma passes one of our detectors in can be moving in any random direction regardless of the fact that it originated from the Solar surface.
Particles that originate from the Sun are most likely identified by their energy spectrum not their angle of incidence.
