Scientific paper

Numbers of solar protons accelerated at flare sites are derived from gamma-ray observations of the C deexcitation line at 4.44 MeV and the neutron capture line at 2.22 MeV from the Apr. 1, 1981, May 13, 1981, Oct. 15, 1981, and June 6, 1982 flares. The derived numbers of protons accelerated to energies above 10 MeV are of the order of 10 to the 32nd. The number of protons producing gamma-ray lines seems to be much higher than the number of escaping protons from the sun. The present result suggests that most of the protons stream down and produce gamma-ray lines, and only a small fraction of protons escapes into interplanetary space.
