A new type of solar neutron detector (FIB) was launched on board the Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 16, 2009, and began collecting data at the International Space Station (ISS) on August 25, 2009. This paper summarizes the three years of observations obtained by the solar neutron detector FIB until the end of July 2012. The solar neutron detector FIB can determine both the energy and arrival direction of neutrons. We measured the energy spectra of background neutrons over the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) region and elsewhere and found the typical trigger rates to be 20 and 0.22 counts/sec, respectively. It is possible to identify solar neutrons to within a level of 0.028 counts/sec, provided that directional information is applied. Solar neutrons were possibly observed in association with the M-class solar flares that occurred on March 7 (M3.7) and June 7 (M2.5) of 2011. This marked the first time that neutrons had been observed in M-class solar flares. A possible interpretation of the production process is provided.

In connection with the X17.2 flare on October 28, 2003, a coronal mass ejection was emitted at a high speed directly towards the Earth and caused a dramatic Forbush decrease (Fd) in the count rates of the worldwide network of ground-based cosmic ray detectors. During the initial phase of this Fd the ratios of the two Gornergrat solar neutron telescope particle channels (charged + neutral) and neutral show a step-like increase lasting about three days. This phenomenon is investigated based on Monte Carlo simulations of the cosmic ray cascades in the Earth's atmosphere and of the interactions of the secondary cosmic ray particles with the detector.

AbstractThe experiment SONG (SOlar Neutron and Gamma rays) for the low altitude satellite CORONAS-I is described. The instrument is capable to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection in the energy range 0.1 – 100 MeV as well as detection of neutrons with energies above 30 MeV. As a by-product, the electrons in the range 11 – 108 MeV will be measured too. The pulse shape discrimination technique (PSD) is used.
