Notes. Here, nb and γ are the non-thermal electron density and power-law index of their energy spectrum. The lower and upper energy cut-offs are 10 keV and 1 MeV, respectively. Parameters nL and TL are the thermal plasma density and temperature within the flaring loop, respectively, and Rfp is the cross-section of the flaring loop near the footpoints.
