SOLAR COSMIC-RAYS

This report is a brief overview of the energetic-particle phenomena re lated to solar activity discussed at the XXIV International Cosmic-Ray Conference. In the rapporteur's opinion, the most significant results to be highlighted are: 1) the new higher-energy measurements of the s olar energetic ion charge state which seem to be consistent with the o lder measurements at similar to 1 MeV/nucleon, and 2) the many reports of extended gamma-ray production during solar flares with multiple ep isodes of emission implying multiple episodes of particle acceleration .
