Summary

A meeting was held at Goddard on Friday, 30 October 2009, to discuss the future of solar gamma-ray and neutron physics. About a dozen local scientists from Goddard, NRL, and UNH attended. The schedule of presentations is given below and a list of Science Questions was created at the conclusion of this meeting.

Schedule
