The importance of energetic particles in the generation of solar flares and related phenomena has been underestimated if not completely neglected. A reexamination of their role in the light of recent observations carried out during the last solar maximum by a number of experiments on SMM and Hinotor

On 23 May 1967 energetic (10-50 kcV) solar flare X-rays were observed by the OGO-III ion chamber during the period 1808-2100 UT. The time-intensity profile for the X-ray event showed three distinct pcaks at ~: 1810, 1841 and 1942 UT. The second peak, which is eqtfivalent to ~-: 2.9 • 10 -8 ergscm-es
Using observations of both hard X-rays and y-rays in the large solar flare on June 7, 1980, we infer the amount of chromospheric heating due to bombardment both by non-thermal electrons and by protons, respectively. If a thick-target model for the X-ray bremsstrahlung is adopted, then proton heating
