10/11/10 Solar Neutron Event on September 7, 2005 ■ A strong solar flare occurred on Sept ( X17.0, E= 17x10-1 erg cm2 seg-1). ■ Maximum at 17:40 UT (GOES), 17:36:40 (Integral). ■ Sierra Negra, was a suitable site to observe solar neutrons 11:36:40 LT, Solar zenith angle ~0°.

10/11/10 ■ Clear excesses were recorded by solar neutron channels, after the hard X-ray peak time. ■ The statistical significance of the excesses: S1_with_anti 16σ, S2_with_anti 12σ, S3_with_anti 9.9σ, S4_with_anti 6.2σ.

10/11/10 a) Simulated solar neutron flux arriving vertically to the telescope (mid-day incoming flux, zenith angle = 0°). b) The real proportion of SNT counting rates during the event on Sept 7, 2005 at 17:36:40 UT (11:36:40 LT ~0° of zenith angle).

10/11/10 Sako, et. al., 2006, & Watanabe, et. al., 2007, based on the time evolution profile observed at Chacaltaya, assuming a power law functional form, calculated the spectral index α. First using an impulsive injection and then using the 4 MeV gamma ray profile as injection function. Sako (2007) used 1 hr (17:30 to 18:30 UT) data from the Sierra Negra SNT, a detector simulation based on GEANT3, and the atmospheric neutron atenuation calculated by Shibata (1994) to make an estimate of α. Spectral index results were: α = 3.1 & 3.2. Based on GEANT4, the neutron atmospheric atenuation of Dorman & Valdés-Galicia (1999), and 45 minute data (17:30 to 18:15 UT) from the Sierra Negra SNT, we recalculated α.

10/11/10 Conclusions for SNT work ■ The angular resolution of our SNT simulation is in very good agreement with real data taken during the event of September 7, 2005, constituting a validation of the simulation code. ■ From the simulation we may conclude that neutrons of ~1 GeV were observed. ■ Protons of at least 10GeV must have been produced. They were not observed as it was an east limb flare. ■ The spectral index α of the september event is most likely close to 3.
