Long-duration solar gamma -ray flares are those in which high-energy photon emission is present well beyond the impulsive phase, indicating the presence of either stored or continuously accelerated ions. We review both the observations and the current theories or models that can explain this unusual phenomenon. The present situation favors either acceleration of protons and ions for long periods of time by second order Fermi acceleration in large coronal loops or acceleration in large-scale, CME-associated reconnection sheets. Observations in the upcoming solar maximum may resolve this problem.
