✦ Synopsis

The measurements of peak intensities of hard X-ray bursts from hot flare plasma electrons as a function of peak frequency of associated microwave radio bursts are discussed. The latter is proportional to the magnetic field strength. The results suggest that the flare hard X-rays are emitted when the electron plasma frequency is comparable to the electron gyrofrequency. Thus, the hard X-ray peak intensity varies as B a'2, where B is the magnetic field strength.

The primary scientific objectives of the Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) to be flown on the Solar Maximum Mission are as follows: (1) To determine the nature of the mechanisms which accelerate electrons to 20-100 keV in the first stage of a solar flare and to > 1 MeV in the second stage of man
