摘要

The plasma dispersion function and thereduced velocity distribution function are calculated numerically for anyarbitrary velocity distribution function with cylindrical symmetry along themagnetic field. The electron velocity distribution is separated into twodistributions representing the distribution of the ambient electrons and thesuprathermal electrons. The velocity distribution function of the ambientelectrons is modelled by a near-Maxwellian distribution function in presence ofa temperature gradient and a potential electric field. The velocity distributionfunction of the suprathermal electrons is derived from a numerical model of theangular energy flux spectrum obtained by solving the transport equation ofelectrons. The numerical method used to calculate the plasma dispersion functionand the reduced velocity distribution is described. The numerical code is usedwith simulated data to evaluate the Doppler frequency asymmetry between the up-and downshifted plasma lines of the incoherent-scatter plasma lines at differentwave vectors. It is shown that the observed Doppler asymmetry is more dependenton deviation from the Maxwellian through the thermal part for high-frequencyradars, while for low-frequency radars the Doppler asymmetry depends more on thepresence of a suprathermal population. It is also seen that the full evaluationof the plasma dispersion function gives larger Doppler asymmetry than the heatflow approximation for Langmuir waves with phase velocity about three to sixtimes the mean thermal velocity. For such waves the moment expansion of thedispersion function is not fully valid and the full calculation of thedispersion function is needed.Key words.
