X-ray emitting sources have often been observed at the apex of post-flare loops by the Hard X-Ray telescope (HXT) onboard the Japanese Yohkoh satellite and by NASA's Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). In order to investigate the physics behind the generation of these loop top sources we have coupled a 1D, time-dependent, hydro code with a non-thermal particle transport code. The hydro code provides temperature and density information of the target plasma to the particle code and the particle code provides the dynamic heating of the plasma to the hydro code. Previous work with a combined has shown that it is possible to create flare loop top emission sources under certain conditions. In this work we test the relationship between the pitch angle distribution of the injected non-thermal particles and the generation of loop top emission source. RHESSI, HXT and XRT datasets are synthesized from the simulations to provide a direct link between theoretical work and observables. This work is supported by NASA grant NAG5-12820.
