Scientific paper

From February 1980 - February 1982, the Gamma Ray Spectrometer on the Solar Maximum Mission satellite observed the impulsive phases of sixteen western hemisphere flares that were associated with prompt solar proton events. Six of these flares had a detectable excess in the 4-8 MeV window and four others had detectable continuum emission above 300 keV. As indicated in earlier studies based on fewer events, a lack of correlation is found between the peak 10 MeV near-earth proton fluxes and prompt gamma-ray-line fluences. The two largest proton events in the sample did not have detectable emission above 300 keV. For the 9 December event, an upper limit for the density of the ion acceleration region of 8 billion/cu cm or less is obtained for an acceleration time constant of 1500 s.
