Gamma-ray increase during reconnection • Acceleration or just expulsion of pre-existing fast electrons? Fusion neutrons Fus. Neutr. + (>100keV) Island growth: Reconnection signature
Electric field during reconnection • Reconnected flux w2 B s • Loop voltageV B s w2 / t w 5E-2 t 5E-3 B 5; s 1 V 2.5 • Not large! • Locally large near x-point?
Case with no pre-existing fast electrons? • Resistive plasma, still uncertain mechanism.
Case with no pre-existing fast electrons? • Gamma-ray burst at mode fragmentation (plasmoids?)
