The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Spectroscopic Solar Imager (RHESSI) is uniquely suited to observe solar microflares due to its sensitivity in the 3-15 keV energy range (up to 100 times better than previous solar instruments). As such, it provides new information on these low level transients. In this study, we present, for the first time, initial results from a new flare-finding algorithm which searches the 6 to 12 keV energy band in order to find the smallest flares. Over the lifetime of RHESSI (5 years), we have found a total of 24 799 microflares. We describe the flare-finding algorithm and present microflare statistics including the frequency distribution. This work was supported by NASA contract NAS5-98033.
