Flare scenario, based on Yohkoh observations and magnetic reconnection (MR) hypotesis, has been elaborated recently (Tsuneta, 1996; Shibata, 1997). Using theoretical prediction that the fast MR results in a high-speed outflows from reconnection site, the reconnection downflow has been supposed to collide with the top of underlying magnetic loop, producing superhot plasma and high-energy particles.
