Scientific paper

The paper considers the primary scientific objectives of the Hard X-ray Burst Spectrometer to be flown on the Solar Maximum Mission. The objectives are: (1) to determine mechanisms which accelerate electrons to 20-100 keV in the first stage of a solar flare and to more than 1 MeV in the second stage of many flares, and (2) to characterize the spatial and temporal relation between electron acceleration, storage, and energy loss throughout a solar flare. In the first year after launch, it is expected that about 1000 flares will be observed above the instrument threshold.
