Solar proton, helium, and medium nuclei (Z is equal to or greater than 6 and equal to or less than 9) observed from the IMP-6 satelliteProton, helium, and medium nuclei energy spectra have been measured from the Explorer 35 satellite for a recent solar flare. Above 2 MeV/nucleon these spectra are based upon single and dual parameter pulse height analysis in addition to threshold rate counting. Pulse height analysis of medium nuclei is assigned a high priority for telemetry readout so that telemetry does not become saturated by the high proton intensity. In this manner the number of pulse height analyzed medium nuclei has been increased by a factor of approximately 200. Individual medium nuclei have been resolved in the energy interval 8 - 23 MeV/nucleon.
