Abstract
The linear polarizations of the 4.43 MeV 12C* and the 6.13 MeV 16O* gamma-ray lines, that are assumed to be produced in (p, p′) processes in solar flares, are projected as functions of θ, the angle between the line-of-sight and the direction of the particle beam. The projected polarization amplitudes are quite large, and it is suggested that their measurement would facilitate to uniquely determine the particle direction without recourse to Doppler shift measurements.
