✦ Synopsis

Using the IMSL package TWODEPEP, the full non-relativistic Fokker-Planck equation is solved numerically for the runaway electron distribution function in the presence of a dc electric field. A set of partial integro-differential equations derived from a Legendre expansion of the Fokker-Planck equation is solved simultaneously for the electron distribution parts up to f 3 with .10 non-Maxwellian and including the full electron-electron collision operator. The runaway distribution function and its moments yielding the non-linear conductivity, runaway rate, temperature and drift velocity are presented.
