1 RHESSI 2003 October 28 Time Histories Falling fluxes following the peak Nuclear/511 keV line flux delayed relative to bremsstrahlung Fit to 511 keV line flux indicates a hard spectrum, including contribution from pion decay Continuum below 511 keV line just after impulsive peak also suggests positrons from pion decay RHESSI observed emission >9 MeV emission consistent with pion emission (CORONAS-F observed gamma rays from neutral pion emission.) Change in 511 keV line width after 11:16 may reflect change in solar atmosphere and/or population of accelerated particles.

2 Expanded view of annihilation line region during 1 st 240s of October 28 flare revealing different components: annihilation line and continuum (believed to be Compton scattered photons) and the alpha-He fusion line complex. continuum  - 4 He fusion lines

3 RHESSI 2003 November 2 time histories Fast rise and gradually falling fluxes following the peak Nuclear/511 keV line flux delayed relative to bremsstrahlung 511-keV flux decay appears too flat relative to the calculation shown by solid curve. Change in 511-keV line width after 17:26?

4 Comparison of sub- mm time history for Nov. 2, 2003 flare and hard X-ray and gamma-ray emissions measured by RHESSI (Silva et al 2006)

5 Spectra from three RHESSI flares revealing differing amounts of pion radiation inferred from 9-16 MeV emission. Coronas confirms pion emission in the October 28 and January 20 flares. No evidence for pion emission in November 2 flare 1/20/2005 10/28/2003 11/02/2003
