Particle beam bombardment on the solar chromosphere produces non-thermal ionization and excitation. The effect on hydrogen lines is investigated by using non-LTE theory and semi-empirical flare models. It has been found that in the case of electron bombardment, the Hα line is widely broadened and enhanced. Significant enhancements at the wings of Lyα and Lyβ lines are also predicted. In the case of proton bombardment, less strong broadening and less central reversal are expected. We found that the total energy flux of the particle beam and the atmospheric condition give much influence on the line profiles, which, however, are less sensitive to the power index. Based on the Hα line profile measurement, a method to deduce the total energy flux of the particle beam is proposed.
