Scientific paper

The hard X-ray emission from 28 large solar events has been analyzed in order to search for pulsations in intensity profiles. Periodicity occurred in 26 events, usually soon after the onset, with periods in the range 10-100 s. Pulsations occurring at common frequencies in different energy bands are observed to be closely in phase. Periodic behavior in hard X-ray emission is related to that at microwave and decametric wavelengths. The observations are briefly discussed in terms of two models: that of McClean et al. (1971), applied to X-ray emission, and that of Brown and Hoyng (1975). As periodicity is normal in extended hard X-ray bursts and occurs through a broad energy band, it is probably directly related to a principal flare-acceleration mechanism. These observations constrain possible mechanisms of flare acceleration and physical properties of the acceleration region.
