Recent observations suggest that the energy release in solar flares may occur in many small bursts. If these bursts give rise to plasma heating, a large number of collisionless shocks will be generated. These shocks can individually heat plasma and accelerate particles, but the interaction of particles with many shocks as well, as of shocks with each other can give rise to further heating and acceleration.
