A number of nuclear states have been identified as possible candidates for producing high-energy gamma-ray line emission in solar flares. For one high-energy line, resulting from the decay of ^12C^*(15.11 MeV), the excitation cross sections and branching radios have been studied extensively. In a solar flare, the ratio of the flux of 15.11-MeV gamma rays to the flux of 4.44-MeV gamma rays depends critically on the spectral index of the flare-accelerated protons. Prospects for being able to determine that spectral index, using results from HESSI observations together with the analytic results of Crannell, Crannell, and Ramaty,(C. J. Crannell, H. Crannell, and R. Ramaty, Astrophys. J. 229), 762 (1979). will be presented.
