Scientific paper

In the energy balance analysis of a double impulsive hard X-ray flare presently completed, it is deduced on the basis of spatial observations that both flares probably occur in the same loop, within the resolution limits of the data. Total energy losses are noted to be a factor of two lower than the calculated fast electron energy; this is interpreted as an indication that the first flare occurred in a small loop, with fast electrons heating the chromosphere and resulting in a chromospheric evaporation that increased the density in the loop. For the second flare, most of the heating occurred at the electron acceleration site. The estimated altitude of the acceleration site is 5500 km above the photosphere.
