The main goal of this work is to determine the onset time of proton acceleration to high energies during large solar flares. R = 2-4 R☼ Reames, Ap.J., 2009, 693, 812

Solar flare gamma radiation with energies > 0.5 MeV is the direct indicator of accelerated particle appearance in the corona. Electrons generate bremsstrahlung with energy up to energy of these electrons themselves. Protons with energies 10-30 MeV generate gamma-line radiation of excited nuclei as well as the neutron capture line 2.2 MeV. Protons accelerated up to energies above 300 MeV generate the high-energy gamma radiation as a result of neutral pion decay. This emission is characterized by wide spectral maximum near 70 MeV and is originated in the density matter of the solar atmosphere.

Pion-decay Gamma-Ray Emission Spectrum 3 June 1982 28 October 2003

The Onset Time of the Pion-Decay Gamma-Ray Emission of Major Solar Flares (Poster 0287) V. Kurt, B. Yushkov, V. Grechnev 24 May 1990 28 October 2003

Acceleration of protons up to sub-relativistic energies in major flares, determined from observations of the pion-decay gamma-ray emission starts temporally close to the main flare energy release. This conclusion can be used in analyses of solar particle events and GLE onset, to find the onset time of acceleration in events when the pion-decay emission was not observed.

We studied 42 GLE events and associated flares since 1972 (GLE 25) The time of the main flare energy release To was determined The GLE onset time Tonset was found. First protons arrived the Earth could be observed by one or several neutron monitors (Kurt et al., Astron. Lett., 2010, 36, 520). and therefore the onset time of proton acceleration up to high energies.

Assumptions Accelerated protons can escape the Sun immedeately after their acceleration. 2. Path length of protons propagating with a small pitch angle without scattering could be shorter than a nominal length on magnetic field line.

Nominal length of field line (1.0) = 1.1 AU From Pei et al., Ap.J., 2006, 614, 1222.

Given the spread in particle mean free paths and velocities, the delay time of the first recorded particles with respect to observed To time can be estimated as 1–8 min.

Determination of To and Tonset. 22 November 1977 15 April 2001

The Main Result

Distribution of difference between T0 and Tonset. The Main Result-2 Distribution of difference between T0 and Tonset. Time delay DT of the GLE onset vs heliolongitude of associated flare.

Conclusions 1. First solar protons can be observed at 1 AU with time delay 1-8 min after observation of electromagnetic emissions which manifest the main flare energy release. 2. Acceleration of high-energy protons (> 300 MeV) starts near the time of the main flare energy release.
