Simulated HXR emission

Single footpoint
Ec = 20 keV ; N(E<Ec)=E-2

20 footpoints
Ec = 20 keV ; N(E<Ec)=E-2

HXT L flux (cts/s)

3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8

Spectral Index d

f = 1010

f = 109

2s detection

Expected HXT L channel count rates as a function of spectral index

Single footpoint means S=1017 cm2 ? 1 CDS pixel

Electron fluxes necessary to produce observed upflow velocities
would also generate detectable hard X-ray signatures
