Abstract:
During solar flares magnetic field energy is converted into heat, mass
flows, electromagnetic radiation, and energetic particles by magnetic
reconnection. The plasma outflow from the reconnection region can become
super-Alfvenic. Then, a so-called termination shock is established in
the far outflow region. At this shock electrons and protons can be
accelerated up to high energies by shock drift acceleration. This
mechanism is numerically calculated and compared with RHESSI and radio
data of the solar event on July 18, 2002
