Role of non-thermal electrons on the generation of X-ray and EUV lines in solar flares

Data on the energy and angular distribution of electrons are used to determine the X-ray and EUV line flux as a function of column density. Analytically derived small angle scattering data are combined with large angle collision data obtained with Monte Carlo calculations for the cases of initially...

Summary:Data on the energy and angular distribution of electrons are used to determine the X-ray and EUV line flux as a function of column density. Analytically derived small angle scattering data are combined with large angle collision data obtained with Monte Carlo calculations for the cases of initially power-law electron distributions and incidence angles of 0, 30, and 60 deg. The flux is found to increase with increase in column density. (R.R.)
