Data-constrained 3D modeling of the 2011 August 4 flare reveals strong polarity asymmetry in electron precipitation driven by magnetic mirror ratios, with turbulent scattering and Coulomb collisions modulating the energy-dependent flux.
Numerical MHD and test-particle simulations indicate that unsteady loop-top dynamics enhance electron acceleration efficiency compared to quasi-steady cases by mitigating betatron cooling at compressed field edges.
