AbstractWe consider the problem of ion-acoustic wave generation, and resultant anomalous Joule heating, by a return current driven unstable by a small-area thick-target electron beam in solar flares. We find that, contrary to the usual assumption, the hard X-ray bremsstrahlung emission may actually be enhanced in comparison to conventional thick-target models. This present paper is a summary of the work of Cromwell, McQuillan and Brown (1988).

AbstractWe investigate numerically the effect of a finite density gradient on the Langmir wavelevel produced by an electron beam in the flaring solar corona. The energy losses and associated plasma heating resulting from the presence of a beam-neutralizing reverse current are taken into account. The density and temperature structure of the background plasma are determined self-consistently, assuming steady state energy balance and hydrostatic equilibrium. The implications of our results for flare acceleration mechanisms are discussed.
