Abstract Numerical models of impulsive solar flare particle events usually assume the radial diffusion coefficient to be independent of energy per nucleon, T, although the observations indicate a T0.5 dependence (constant mean free path). The assumption of a constant diffusion coefficient results in a preservation of a power law injection spectrum at all radial distances throughout the event. We investigate the effect of an energy dependent diffusion coefficient on the spectrum of flux maxima at a fixed point in interplanetary space. This spectrum is harder than that of initial differential number densities close to the sun. Furthermore, the spectrum hardens with increasing radial distance which seems to be at variance with observations.
