Solar protons in eruptive flares are stochastically accelerated in a wide spatial angle, and then they are effectively kept behind the expanding coronal mass ejection (CME) front, which can either bring protons to the magnetic-field line going to a remote observer or carry them away. We consider 13 solar proton events of cycle 24 in which protons with energy E > 100 MeV were recorded and were accompanied by the detection of solar hard X-ray (HXR) radiation with E > 100 keV by an ACS SPI detector and γ-radiation with E > 100 MeV by the FermiLAT telescope with a source in the western hemisphere of the Sun. The first arrival of solar protons into the Earth’s orbit was determined in each event by a significant “proton” excess over the ACS SPI background during or after the HXR burst. All events were considered relative to our chosen zero time (0 min) of parent flares. The “early” arrival of protons to the Earth’s orbit (<+20 min), which was observed in four events, corresponds to the “fast” acceleration of electrons (10 MeV/s). The “late” arrival of protons (>+20 min) corresponds to the “slow” acceleration of electrons (1 MeV/s) and was observed in six events. In three events, a “delayed” arrival of protons (>+30 min) was observed, when the CME propagation hindered the magnetic connection of the source with the observer. The direction of CME propagation is characterized in the catalog (SOHO LASCO CME Catalog) by the position angle (PA). The observed PA systematizes the times of the first arrival of protons and the growth rate of their intensity. The PA parameter should be taken into account in the analysis of proton events.
