Scientific paper

The paper introduces a macroscopic delocalization formula to estimate the electron distribution in the steep temperature gradient around a cold cloud evaporating in the hot phase of the interstellar medium. In the saturated regime, hot electrons may propagate down to the innermost layers of the transition region between the cloud and the hot gas. The result has been used to compute the ionization coefficients and the nonequilibrium ionic fractions in the evaporative flow, with special emphasis placed on O VI, N V, and C IV.
