Abstract

We described above some of the very important solar neutron observations made during the events of June 21, 1980 and June 3, 1982 by the gamma ray spectrometer on the SMM satellite. SMM observed many – in fact, more than 100 – gamma-ray events, and only a few of these were gamma-ray/neutron events (neutron events constitute only a few percent of all gamma-ray events). Chupp (1988) mentioned that solar neutrons give very important information regarding the spectrum of accelerated particles at the source as well as on the ratio of 3He/H in the photosphere of the Sun.
