Abstract: | We discuss the important parameters of solar neutron and proton emissions that can be determined by measurements with neutron
monitors at the Earth. First, the methods of analysis for solar neutron events detected by neutron monitors are presented.
Illustrations are given to show how these measurements can be used to understand the physics of the neutron production at
the Sun. Second, the analytical methods for high-energy interplanetary solar proton events are presented. We then indicate
how these observations of interplanetary solar protons can be used to infer the proton acceleration mechanisms at or near
the Sun.
