Scientific paper

Highly stressed and nonpotential magnetic fields in solar active region are believed to be the site and source of M or X class flares which release as much as 1032 ergs in a periods of 10 to 1000 s with intense emission detected over most of the electromagnetic spectrum. Such M or X class flares are the most likely gamma-ray emission candidates since sheared magnetic field is the means of energy storage for flare events. We have studied the correlation between 'nonpotentiality' parameters such as 'shear angle' and maximum magnetic field strength with the occurrences gamma-ray events. Also the angle of deviation of the magnetic field from the line of sight was studied since the bremsstrahlung gamma-ray beam produced by relativistic ions and electrons is highly directional in the forward direction and required non-vertical field-lines for the detection of the disk-center events.
