Abstract We have examined the conditions for the establishment of charge equilibrium of solar particles during their acceleration. We derive criteria for charge interchange with the atomic and ionized hydrogen at the particles'sources, for two different acceleration mechanisms. It is found that charge interchange is established whenever a particle event is produced. The implications related to mass and charge spectra of particles are discussed. The measured charge state of solar particles cannot in general be directly used for diagnosis of the source temperature, so we suggest another alternative based on the emitted radiation from electron capture.
