Scientific paper

The photoelectron flux in the ionosphere is calculated by solving the Boltzmann equation. The method, flexible enough to allow for a wide range of energy and angular dependences for both external and internal energy sources, represents the first attempt to incorporate anisotropic electron-neutral cross sections for elastic collisions in a multistream photoelectron flux calculation. Calculated and measured photoelectron fluxes agree.
