The results show a depletion in theelectron distribution above 2 eV between 10 and 80 %, decreasing with altitude. The depletion ismainly due to electron energy loss to . This micro-physical energy transfer model gives goodagreement with optical observations of enhanced emissions from at 6300Å and EISCATUHF measurements of electron cooling during HF radio wave heating experiments. Someimplications for incoherent scatter spectra are derived. The results suggest that a weak(approximately 1000 times weaker than the ion-line) and wide (2 MHz) peak around +-1 MHz fromthe ion-line in the EISCAT VHF incoherent scatter spectrum should be a consequence of theelectron-neutral interaction.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {Simulation of high energy tail of electron distribution function}, volume = {18}, year = {2004} }
