Abstract
Role of many-body interactions on the energy loss of electrons accelerated at neutral point during solar flares has been studied. Energy loss with and without many-body interactions has been computed for different electron-density models as function of height. The energy loss increases by a factor of two by inclusion of many-body interactions for incident electron energies greater than 10 keV. Role of this on the generation of hard X-rays is discussed.
