Bremsstrahlung spectra associated with anomalous electron thermal conduction

A steady‐state model of the linearized Fokker–Planck equation has been solved numerically for two types of anomalous electron transport. Electron distributon functions which consistently describe both the thermal and runaway regimes and the soft x‐ray spectra computed from them are given. The effect of the anomalous transport on the x‐ray spectra is compared with the effect of an electric field. Due to the simplicity of the analytic model and the significant enhancement of the soft x‐ray spectra predicted, this type of calculation provides a useful tool for analysis of the anomalous electron transport from observed x‐ray spectra.
