THE energy source of the solar corona continues to be a problem and the acoustical theory of Sturrock1 has not surmounted all objections2. But there are several reasons why the exothermic decay in the corona of a neutral particle such as the neutron is a very attractive possibility: the immense specific energy required to reach temperatures of 106 K, the retention of fast charged particles by the Sun's magnetic field, and the problem of accounting for the high coronal temperature near the relatively low temperature photosphere.
