A technique for reconstructing energy spectra of electrons accelerated in solar flares is suggested that is based on the rigorous solution of the inverse problem considering their X-ray bremsstrahlung. Model calculations are made for various spectra, and it is proved that this technique makes it possible to find the electron energy distribution in real flare events. The energy distribution of high-energy electrons accelerated in the solar flare observed on July 26, 2002, is reconstructed. It is shown that the hard X-ray spectrum of the flare may result from the bremsstrahlung of three groups of high-energy electrons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
