Scientific paper
Monte Carlo calculations combining analytically treated multiple-scattering and random large-angle scattering processes yield the energy and angular distributions of nonthermal flare electrons penetrating the upper solar atmosphere. These distributions are used to derive the polarization of the X-radiation produced by the energetic electrons as bremsstrahlung. The X-ray polarization is computed as a function of energy, observation angle and column density traversed by the electrons. Initially monoenergetic electrons as well as electrons with a power-law spectrum are considered. The degree of polarization of the total X-radiation obtained by summing over all layers of the atmosphere is compared with observations.
