Abstract Post-flare loops are generally observed between two ribbon flares. The formation of post flare loops and active region or plage filaments has been explained in a model based on magnetic reconnection and chromospheric ablation /1,2/. This model uses a magnetic topology which is relevant to solar flares /3/ : a large flare or an instability opens the magnetic lines of a coronal arcade (or arch) and a vertical current sheet forms. Then the reconnection of the magnetic field follows according to the scenario of Kopp and Pneuman /4/. In this magnetic configuration, we show that the formation of condensations or dense loops is induced by reconnection shocks. We give in this communication a new method of diagnostic to derive from Hα profiles physical parameters, i.e. source function, optical depth and velocity. This method called “differential cloud method” is very promising for future observations.
