Sun: Solar Flares - Magnetic Reconnection - Particle Acceleration - X-Ray Emission

Scientific paper

The acceleration of charged particles in the solar corona during flares is investigated in terms of a model in which the electrons and ions preaccelerated in the magnetic reconnection region are injected into a collapsing magnetic trap. Here, the particle energy increases rapidly simultaneously through the Fermi and betatron mechanisms. Comparison of the efficiencies of the two mechanisms shows that the accelerated electrons in such a trap produce more intense hard X-ray (HXR) bursts than those in a trap where only the Fermi acceleration mechanism would be at work. This effect explains the Yohkoh and RHESSI satellite observations in which HXR sources more intense than the HXR emission from the chromosphere were detected in the corona.
