Strong signals of neutral emissions were detected in association with a solar flare that occurred on 2005 September 7. They were produced by both relativistic ions and electrons. In particular, relativistic neutrons were observed with the solar neutron telescopes (SNTs) located at Mount Chacaltaya in Bolivia and Mount Sierra Negra in Mexico and with neutron monitors (NMs) at Chacaltaya and Mexico City with high statistical significances. At the same time, hard X-rays and γ-rays, which were predominantly emitted by high-energy electrons, were detected by the Geotail and the INTEGRAL satellites. We found that a model of the impulsive neutron emission at the time of the X-ray/γ-ray peak can explain the main peaks of all the detected neutron signals, but failed to explain the long tailed decaying phase. An alternative model, in which the neutron emission follows the X-ray/γ-ray profile, also failed to explain the long tail. These results indicate that the acceleration of ions began at the same time as the electrons but that ions were continuously accelerated or trapped longer than the electrons in the emission site. We also demonstrate that the neutron data observed by multienergy channels of SNTs put constraints on the neutron spectrum.

We have found an interesting event registered by the solar neutron telescopes installed at high mountains in Bolivia (5250 m a.s.l.) and Mexico (4600 m a.s.l.). The event was observed on November 7th of 2004 in association with a large solar flare of magnitude X2.0. Some features in the registers reveal the presence of solar neutrons, but also possible solar neutron decay protons (SNDP). SNDPs were recorded on board ISEE3 satellite in June 3rd, 1982 . On October 19th, 1989, the ground level detectors installed in Goose Bay and Deep River revealed the registration of SNDPs. Therefore this is the second example that such an evidence is registered on the Earth’s surface.
Status of the world-wide network of solar neutron telescopes in solar cycle 24

A network of solar neutron telescopes has been developed since the middle of solar cycle 22. We have detected several important solar neutron events until the end of solar cycle 23 using solar neutron telescopes, but the accumulation of more solar neutron events is indispensable to eclucidate the acceleration mechanism of high energy particles. The data of the solar magnetic field with a space resolution of 0.3 arcsec obtained by Hinode satellite will be useful to understand solar neutron events more efficiently than during the previous solar cycles. In this paper we discuss the expected scientific results obtained by the world-wide network of solar neutron telescopes during solar cycle 24.
