Abstract

Electron-impact ionization (EII) can be important in dynamic systems where ions are suddenly exposed to higher electron temperatures. EII can also have a significant effect on the charge state distribution for plasmas with a non-thermal electron energy distribution. In this paper, we present the effects of hot electrons on the calculation of ionization rates for Be2+ using the superstatistics, and we also exchange the distribution function with the effective Boltzmann factor of superstatistics. The ionization rates of Be2+ generate from cross sections obtained by FAC code, weighted by a non–Maxwellian distribution function. We note that non-Maxwellian energy distribution for different fractions of hot electrons showed the effects of these rates on the fractions of hot electrons and the forms of ionization rates.
