Default Solar Sails driven by Photons or Particles?

Hi,
I have a discussion in a german newsgroup de.sci.raumfahrt :
Message-ID: .com

The question is, what makes more pressure on the solarsails, the Photons or
the Particles like Ions and Electrons?

Wikipedia etc. don't give us the clue.

Any help appreciated
