Abstract: | Evidence for acceleration of charged particles in the solar atmosphere is reviewed with specific reference to production of
gamma rays and neutrons at the Sun. Fluxes of these components at the Earth, based on theoretical assumptions are also reviewed
and estimates and conditions for obtaining observable fluxes from Syrovatskii's dynamic dissipation model are considered.
Knowledge about the Sun, to be derived from such observations, is discussed. Finally, a brief review of the present status
of experimental observations and suggestions for new experimental approaches are given.
