Previous investigations of return currents driven by suprathermal electron beams in solar flares have been based both conceptually and mathematically on analyses of electron beams in the laboratory environment. However, the physics of laboratory electron beams is fundamentally different from the phy

It is proposed that the principal cause of the confined solar flare is the dissipation of magnetic energy at the many small-scale pre-existing tangential dscontinuities in the local bipolar magnetic field. The discontinuities are a consequence of the continuous shuffling and intermixing of the footp
The dynamics of intense Langmuir waves in current-carrying plasmas is studied both analytically and numerically. Starting with the widely used Zakharov equations, adapted to these systems, specific features of this problem are pointed out. Further, the role of resonant particles is analyzed. By usin
