Abstract
It is pointed out that the mechanism of collective ion acceleration by means of electron beams may occur in solar flares. This mechanism remarkably provides the following features in agreement with the observational data: i) proton acceleration up to GeV energies within a 10−1 - 10−2 time interval, ii) proton and electron spectrum similarity and a scaling law that relates the number of the accelerated protons and electrons, iii) acceleration of nuclei, whose spectra are similar to that of electrons and protons.
