For six solar flares observed by STIX, the ratio of accelerated to ambient electron densities is between 0.001 and 0.015, so the Sun is a modest electron accelerator.

Solar flares as electron accelerators: toward a resolution of the acceleration efficiency issue
For six solar flares observed by STIX, the ratio of accelerated to ambient electron densities is between 0.001 and 0.015, so the Sun is a modest electron accelerator.
