机译:Effects of non-thermal electron distributions on parallel electron cyclotron emission and absorption for energetic electrons in mirror devices
Calculations are presented of the effects of nonthermal features on electron cyclotron emission parallel to the magnetic field from energetic electrons in a mirror geometry. The calculations were performed using a one-dimensional radiation transport model with fully relativistic emission and absorption coefficients and generic axial profiles, which allow comparison of the results to a variety of experiments. Where necessary, specific parameters were chosen to be representative of present-day large mirror devices. Primary focus is on the conditions for which the emission is optically thick and the relationship between the radiation temperature (intensity) and the temperature of a primary hot component. It is demonstrated that for many (but not all) conditions the radiation temperature is a useful measure of the hot electron temperature. In particular, dilute super hot tails on the distribution do not adversely affect the radiation temperature to any great degree.
