HYBRID-II is a two-dimensional, multispecies, nonlinear Fokker-Planck code applicable to a square-well trap. The general ionic species are expressed in terms of distribution functions f/sub a/(x,theta). In addition several Maxwellian ion species may be specified. The electrons are approximately Maxwellian and are described by a density n/sub e/ and mean energy E/sub e/=3/2 T/sub e/; their collisional loss is given by a formula of Pastukhov. The core of HYBRID-II is the general Fokker-Planck package FPPAC. It is to be noted that HYBRID-II solves Fokker-Planck equations for the ions only. Problems which require the solution of a Fokker-Planck equation for the electron distribution function should be run with the code TDMFP.
