More than 40 gradual SEPs have been observed by GOES and SOHO from 2001 to 2003. During 12 SEPs of all these events, energetic electron ux enhancements with energies from 38 keV to 337 keV were observed by RAPID onboard Cluster spacecraft. During these 12 events the variation of the energetic electron ux measured by RAPID/Cluster was closely associated to the variation of the solar energetic proton ux. The observed energetic electron ux was independent on the location of Cluster in the magnetosphere and the background level of magnetospheric electrons (even when the Cluster spacecraft was crossing the magnetopause, the plasma sheet and the low latitude boundary layer). The similar variation of the enhancement of energetic electron ux has also been observed by POLAR and Geotail in some of these events. In some of these events, the electron measurement of RAPID/Cluster will not be contaminated by the SEP protons.
