Scientific paper

It is shown how the hard X-ray burst count rate and its e-folding time can be used to estimate the minimum magnetic field Bmin required in a flare magnetic reconnection site for the burst to be interpreted in terms of a thick target model. Application of the method to data from the Solar Maximum Mission (HXRBS) indicates absolute minimum fields well in excess of 100 G, and impossibly high values for some reconnection geometries.
