We present observations of an intense solar flare hard X-ray burst on 1980 June 27, made with a balloon-borne array of liquid nitrogen-cooled germanium detectors which provided unprecedented spectral resolution (s keV FWHM). The hard X-ray spectra throughout the impulsive phase burst fitted well to
Observations of impulsive solar flare X-rays > 10 keV by the OGO-5 sa.telIite and the measurements of energetic solar electrons made with the Explorer-35 and Explorer-41 (IMP-5) satellites during the period March 1968-September 1969 have been analyzed in order to determine the ion density in the X-r
We show that protons can be accelerated to several GeV in ~I0 s by Alfven turbulence whose energy density is greater than a few erg/cmS. We also show that electrons can be accelerated to tens of MeV on similar time scales by whistler and Alfven turbulence.
