An important goal in solar physics is the measurement of neutrons in the 1-20 MeV range -- the surest indication of low energy ion acceleration in the low corona. Detection of these particles is key for understanding particle acceleration as a whole. Solar neutron measurements in this range could also have the great discovery potential of the postulated nanoflares -- possibly a significant agent for heating the solar corona. Neutrons in this energy range suffer from decay and range out prior to 1AU, measurements abroad the Solar Probe Plus mission to the inner heliosphere are needed. We report on the technical status of the ongoing characterization and simulation efforts of the SOlar NeutroN Experiment (SONNE) - a fast neutron imaging spectrometer with sensitivity to neutrons in the 1-20 MeV range. Results from a limited laboratory prototype and GEANT4 simulations will be presented.
