Physical scenario of the fallback-triggered reconnection. (a) Chromospheric evaporation and condensation at the loop apex. (b) The cool condensation falls back and compresses the chromosphere, triggering the second reconnection. (c) Weak confinement allows the reconnected field lines to open outward, leading to ejection. (d) Strong confinement keeps the lines closed, forcing the materials inward.
