Observational consequences of the local re-acceleration thick-target model

In our contribution we compare the efficiency of the hard X-ray production and the vertical sizes and positions of the hard X-ray sources for the classical collisional thick-target model and for its recently proposed modification, the local re-acceleration thick-target model.

Summary:In our contribution we compare the efficiency of the hard X-ray production and the vertical sizes and positions of the hard X-ray sources for the classical collisional thick-target model and for its recently proposed modification, the local re-acceleration thick-target model. The latter model has been proposed in order to ease some of the severe theoretical problems of the collisional thick-target model related to interpretation of the observational properties of the foot-point HXR sources in solar flares. The results are obtained using a relativistic test-particle approach for a fully ionised atmosphere with a converging magnetic field and a single (compact) flare loop.
