Pair production in thermal plasmas: a computer model

Creators

  • 1. Inst. of Astronomy, Cambridge, England

Description

A computer code has been developed to follow the processes of electron-position pair production, annihilation, bremsstrahlung and Comptonization in a slab of mildly relativistic thermal plasma. The resulting equilibrium solutions are compared with the semi-analytic calculations of Svensson. 7 references, 2 figures
