Scientific paper

A new method of solution of the kinetic equation for photoelectron distribution function is discussed. The method may be used to calculate photoelectron fluxes and efficiency coefficients of electron gas heating and of secondary ionization. The function suggested is an infinite series that converges quickly enough to take into account only two, three, or four terms. In a good approximation, the coefficient of gas heating may be considered as a function of the ionization degree only and the coefficient of secondary ionization may be considered as a function of the mean energy of primary photoelectrons.
