From soft X-ray and metric radio observations with high temporal and spatial resolution, we show that electron acceleration in the form of Type III bursts occurs in association with coronal jets observed by the Yohkoh soft X-ray telescope. The excellent correspondence between the positions of the radio sources observed at different frequencies and the X-ray jets strongly suggests that electron beams propagate along the relatively dense paths formed by the jets. Assuming a constant temperature for the jets, one can estimate the electron density from the soft X-ray measurements. These computed electron densities agree well with the values derived from Type III bursts produced by the plasma emission process. The observations are consistent with the idea that strong particle acceleration accompanies magnetic reconnection in these events as well as in solar flares.
