| 内容記述 | The paper considers the number of nonthermal electrons which must be accelerated in the impulsive phase of a flare, as well as possible acceleration mechanisms. Direct electric field acceleration in a plasma is considered, taking explicit account of magnetohydrodynamic processes; it is shown that significant heating is involved. Attention is also given to acceleration by electron plasma waves, which requires the waves to be driven to large amplitude by already streaming electrons or anisotropic ion-acoustic waves. It is concluded that at most 0.1% of the flare energy can be deposited into nonthermal streaming electrons with the proposed acceleration and energy conversion mechanisms. Therefore, hard X-ray production above 10 keV primarily by hot thermal electrons is the only choice compatible with existing primary energy release models. |
