Complete and physically adequate analytical and semi-analytical solutions have been obtained using a practical dimensionless form of kinetic equation assuming azimuthal symmetry and Maxwellian distributions of target plasma species. Formerly considered simplified equations with truncated Coulomb collision term do not conserve the number of particles, are inapplicable to describe high energy distribution tails, and are also essentially unable to demonstrate the Maxwellization process naturally observed in the low energy region of correct distributions. The results may be useful in numerical modeling and in experimental data analysis, especially concerning nuclear processes and advanced localized, angle-resolved suprathermal particle diagnostics.
