Zusammenfassung:The distribution functions and diffusion coefficient of electrons in the Rydberg energy space in an ultracold plasma are obtained as functions of temperature by numerically solving a system of kinetic balance equations. As the initial conditions, the results obtained in previous papers by the molecular dynamics method are used. From calculation of Rydberg electron fluxes, the temperature dependence of the recombination coefficient is obtained, in good agreement with the recombination coefficient calculated previously by the molecular dynamics method.
