Hard X-ray radiation from several powerful solar flares was detected in October-November, 2003 by the SPR-N hard X-ray polarimeter onboard CORONAS-F satellite. In the October, 29 solar flare (20:40 - 21:00 UT) the X-ray radiation was strongly polarized (more than 70% of photons with energies 40-100 keV). In the flares 28.10.03 and 04.11.03 the emission was not polarized. The upper limits for the part of polarized photons at the level of tens percents were obtained in these flares.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
