Introduction
Parameters
thick2 - Thick-Target Bremsstrahlung x-ray/gamma-ray spectrum from an isotropic electron distribution Version 2 (~10-100 times faster than Version 1, with a relative error of ~1.e-4) (see [1])
- a[0] - Total integrated electron flux, in units of 10^35 electrons sec^(-1)
- a[1] - Low delta, index of the electron distribution function below the break
- a[2] - Break energy (in keV). To use a single power-law electron distriubtion, set this to a value GE than high energy cutoff or to a value LE than low energy cutoff
- a[3] - High delta, index of the electron distribution function above the break
- a[4] - low energy cutoff (in keV)
- a[5] - high energy cutoff (in keV)
