Abstract A comprehensive analysis of spacecraft observations obtained to date for the highly variable heavy element composition of solar energetic particles, which exhibit the imprint of a pervasive composition pattern that differs from the photospheric composition by a simple bias related to the first ionization potential. In each of the observations, this mass-unbiased baseline composition is seen to be distorted by an additional bias that is always a monotonic function of mass. This latter bias varies in amplitude (and even in sign) among the observations and appears to be related to differences in the A/Z-asterisk ratio between elements, where Z-asterisk is the mean effective charge.
