摘要:

太阳硬X射线爆发的碰撞厚靶模型(CTTM)已成为耀斑脉冲相能量输运和辐射的几乎“标准模型”。然而,根据最近的数据,它面临着各种问题,特别是它涉及的高电子束密度和各向异性。{We考虑在注入之后,如何通过在整个HXR源本身中局部再加速快电子来增加每个电子的光子产率,并因此降低快电子束强度要求。{We参数化地示出,如果由于例如波或局部电流片电场(${\cal E}$)引起的净再加速率是碰撞损失率、电子寿命的显著部分,则每电子的净辐射HXR输出可以显著增加超过CTTM值。在这种局部再加速厚靶模型(LRTTM)的快速电子数的要求和各向异性,从而减少。一个具体的可能的情况下,涉及这样的再加速进行了讨论,即,在一个随机应力磁回路的电流片级联(CSC)。结合MHD和测试粒子模拟表明,CSC中的局部${\cal E}$场可以有效地加速日冕中的电子,并在注入色球层后重新加速它们。在这种HXR源情景中,脉冲足点发射的快速同步和可变性仍然可以发生,因为初级电子加速是在高阿尔文速度日冕中,在色球CSC中快速再加速。这也与HXR特征中的能量依赖飞行时间延迟一致。

英文摘要:

The collisional thick target model (CTTM) of solar hard X-ray (HXR) bursts has become an almost 'Standard Model' of flare impulsive phase energy transport and radiation. However, it faces various problems in the light of recent data, particularly the high electron beam density and anisotropy it involves.} {We consider how photon yield per electron can be increased, and hence fast electron beam intensity requirements reduced, by local re-acceleration of fast electrons throughout the HXR source itself, after injection.} {We show parametrically that, if net re-acceleration rates due to e.g. waves or local current sheet electric (${\cal E}$) fields are a significant fraction of collisional loss rates, electron lifetimes, and hence the net radiative HXR output per electron can be substantially increased over the CTTM values. In this local re-acceleration thick target model (LRTTM) fast electron number requirements and anisotropy are thus reduced. One specific possible scenario involving such re-acceleration is discussed, viz, a current sheet cascade (CSC) in a randomly stressed magnetic loop.} {Combined MHD and test particle simulations show that local ${\cal E}$ fields in CSCs can efficiently accelerate electrons in the corona and and re-accelerate them after injection into the chromosphere. In this HXR source scenario, rapid synchronisation and variability of impulsive footpoint emissions can still occur since primary electron acceleration is in the high Alfvén speed corona with fast re-acceleration in chromospheric CSCs. It is also consistent with the energy-dependent time-of-flight delays in HXR features.
