Abstract We report on a study of particle acceleration in a magnetic neutral sheet which has been struck by a passing MHD shock, such as occurs in the sun when a flare occurs near a helmet streamer. Using trajectory calculations, we derive energy spectra. We propose that long-lived particle events with energies up to 10–100 MeV following solar flares may be explained by the mechanism described here.
