Scientific paper

Non-thermal electron and ion velocity distribution is permanently observed in the solar wind. The exact origins of such departures from equilibrium Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions remain unclear. It is however believed that the rarity of Coulomb collisions in most of the extended corona and solar wind play a crucial role in the mechanisms which produce and/or maintain such distributions. In this lecture, we will summarize the various observations of those distributions and discuss their possible coronal origin and role in the solar wind acceleration processes.
