Abstract
Fast and slow components with different temporal and spectral characte ristics, which are due to two populations of accelerated protons, were revealed in neutrons generated during the solar flare of May 24, 1990 , as a result of the analysis of data from the Climax neutron monitor. The fast neutron component was generated in a low, dense arch with a magnetic field of several hundred gauss, whereas the slow neutron comp onent was generated in a high, rarefied arch with a field of several t ens of gauss at the vertex.
