Scientific paper

We shall discuss analysis of the γ -ray spectra of the 2003 October 28 and November 2 solar flares. We use flux ratios in nuclear lines such as 6.13 MeV (16O)/ 1.63 MeV (20Ne) and 2.223 MeV (n-capture)/4.43 MeV (12C) to determine the power law spectral index of accelerated protons and α -particles. We also determine the accelerated α /p ratio by comparing fluxes in the α -4He fusion lines between 400 and 500 keV with those in nuclear de-excitation lines. We then discuss measurement of highly broadened nuclear lines that provide information on the accelerated abundances of 12C, 16O, and 56Fe. These measurements of the accelerated particles impacting the Sun can be compared with those observed in space. This work is supported by NASA DPR NNG04ED181 and by ONR.
