Over the last decade we entered a new exploration phase of solar
flare physics, equipped with powerful spacecraft such as Yohkoh,
SoHO, and TRACE that pro vide us detail-rich and high-resolution
images of solar flares in soft X-rays, hard X -rays, and
extreme-ultraviolet wavelengths. Moreover, the large-area and high
sensitivity detectors on the Compton GRO spacecraft recorded an
unprecedented number of high-energy photons from solar flares that
surpasses all detected high energy sources taken together from the
rest of the universe, for which CGRO was mainly designed to
explore. However, morphological descriptions of these beau tiful
pictures and statistical catalogs of these huge archives of solar
data would not convey us much understanding of the underlying
physics, if we would not set out to quantify physical parameters
from these data and would not subject these measurements to
theoretical models. Historically, there has always been an
unsatisfactory gap between traditional astronomy that dutifully
describes the mor phology of observations, and the newer approach
of astrophysics, which starts with physical concepts from first
principles and analyzes astronomical data with the goal to confirm
or disprove theoretical models. In this review we attempt to bridge
this yawning gap and aim to present the recent developments in
solar flare high-energy physics from a physical point of view,
structuring the observations and analysis results according to
physical processes, such as particle acceleration, propagation,
energy loss, kinematics, and radiation signatures.
