OSTI ID:4935725
Calculations of the bremsstrahlung resulting from electron-- ion collisions in plasmas with non-Maxwellian electron velocity distributions are made with special regard to laser-produced plasmas. The quantum-mechanical theory was used with restriction to nonrelativistic electron energies and a pure Coulomb potential of the ions within the plasma. Results for the spectrum, the angular dependence, the intensity, and the polarization of the emitted bremsstrahlung for some examples of non-Maxwellian isotropic and anisotropic electron velocity distributions are presented.
