Scientific paper

The current uncertainty in flare research regarding the role of low energy (less than 1 MeV) protons demands that any possibilities for directly constraining their number and energy content are considered. It is pointed out that gamma-ray lines, from radiative capture reactions of such protons, may in principle provide such constraints. Making allowance for the possibility that the protons slow down in a 'warm target', it is shown how observational upper limits to their strengths may be used to constrain the proton energy content and the temperature of the interaction region.
