Abstract: | A collapsing trap in the cusp topology of solar flares is simulated using a 2D MHD model. Then in this collapsing trap trajectories of test electrons and their acceleration are studied in detail. In the model we use the test particle technique with the guiding centre approximation including also collisional losses and scattering of test electrons. Computing the X-ray emission of the accelerated electrons it is shown that the acceleration process in the collapsing trap easily explains the formation of observed loop-top X-ray sources. |
