  A new type of solar neutron detector (FIB) was launched onboard the Space
Shuttle Endeavour on July 16, 2009, and it began collecting data at the
International Space Station (ISS) on August 25, 2009. This paper summarizes the
three years of observations obtained by the solar neutron detector FIB until
the end of July 2012. The solar neutron detector FIB can determine both the
energy and arrival direction of neutrons. We measured the energy spectra of
background neutrons over the SAA region and elsewhere, and found the typical
trigger rates to be 20 counts/sec and 0.22 counts/sec, respectively. It is
possible to identify solar neutrons to within a level of 0.028 counts/sec,
provided that directional information is applied. Solar neutrons were observed
in association with the M-class solar flares that occurred on March 7 (M3.7)
and June 7 (M2.5) of 2011. This marked the first time that neutrons were
observed in M-class solar flares. A possible interpretaion of the prodcution
process is provided.
