Non-Maxwellian Distribution

Overview

In astronomical environments, the high-temperature emission of plasma mainly depends on ion charge states, which requires accurate analysis of the ionization and recombination processes. For various phenomena involving energetic particles, the non-Maxwellian distributions of electrons exhibiting high-energy tails can significantly enhance the ionization process. Accurately computing ionization and recombination rates with non-Maxwellian electron distributions is therefore essential for emission diagnostic analysis.

Purpose

This repository presents two methods for fitting various non-Maxwellian distributions using the Maxwellian decomposition strategy. These methods aim to improve the accuracy of ionization and recombination rate calculations, which is crucial for understanding astrophysical plasmas.

Features

  • Supports modeling of non-Maxwellian electron energy distributions
  • Implements Maxwellian decomposition for rate calculations
  • Enhances diagnostics for high-energy plasma emissions

Usage

You can use this code to:

  • Fit non-Maxwellian distributions with Maxwellian components
  • Compute ionization and recombination rates for astrophysical diagnostics
