ELECTRON TEMPERATURE OF THE MEDIUM IN SYNCHROTRON RADIATION (in Russian)
Electron temperatures in a medium were determined considering that free electrons are produced by hydrogen atom photoionization induced by synchrotron radiation that electrons lose their energy by means of hydrogen recombination processes, and that Maxwell distribution of velocities is established between the electrons Two conditions are accepted as starting points of the problem, the steady state where the number of atoms entering per unit of time into the continuum during photoionization should equal the number of atoms leaving the continuum. and the radiation equilibrium where the energy used in hydrogen atom photoionizations should equal the energy emitted in recombination The calculations showed T/sub e/ = 110 000- with gamma = 3 and T/sub e/ = 100000- with gamma =5 (R.V.J)
