Scientific paper

Solar flares are believed to accelerate both upward and downward propagating electron beams which can radiate emission at radio and X-ray wavelengths correspondingly. The correlation between X-ray and radio emissions in a well observed solar flare allowed us detailed study of the electron acceleration region properties. We used the Nancey Radioheliograph, Phoenix-2 and RHESSI to infer the type III position, type III starting frequency and spectral index of the HXR emission respectively. Using these datasets, we were able to infer not only the location (the height in the corona), but to estimate the spatial size of the electron acceleration site. Using numerical simulations of the electron transport of the electron beam in the corona plasma to relate X-ray and radio data, we find that the spatial size of 10 Mm at an altitude of 50 Mm above the photosphere are consistent with the observations.
