Abstract: The present work concerns the study of the great solar proton events during the solar cycle 23. For this purpose, the temporal behavior of six solar indices during these great events will be studied. These indices are the radio flux (10.7cm) intensity, the sunspot no., the sunspot area, the GEOS X-ray background flux intensity, and the intensity of the X-ray flares and optical flares.
