Abstract

In this paper we examine the effects of non-Maxwellian electron energy distributions on the population densities of excited atomic levels for hydrogenlike ions. We model the electron energy distribution function by two Maxwellian finite elements, one approximating the bulk distribution with temperature T(b) and the other the tail distribution with temperature T(t). We present results for various T(b)/T(t) ratios for Si XIV.
