Abstract

On November 2, 2003, in association with X8.3 flare, a solar neutron event was detected with high statistical significance (4.7 σ) by the neutron monitor at Mt. Chacaltaya, Bolivia. Although large GLE event occurred and was observed by many neutron monitors in association with this flare, the start time of the neutron event was earlier than that of the GLE event. At this flare, the intense emission of γ-rays has been observed by the RHESSI satellite. The production time of solar neutrons was well correlated with those of γ-rays.
