Abstract: | The production of neutrinos with energies higher than 0.1 GeV in the solar atmosphere during solar flares is discussed. Neutrinos and muons are generated in decays of π+- mesons produced in nuclear interactions of accelerated solar flare protons with matter of the Sun. Muons themselves decay yielding neutrinos. These neutrinos could come to the Earth and be detected with neutrino telescopes. Estimations of fluxes of such neutrinos are given. |
