openmc.stats.Maxwell

class openmc.stats.Maxwell(theta)

Maxwellian distribution in energy.

The Maxwellian distribution in energy is characterized by a single parameter \(\theta\) and has a density function \(p(E) dE = c \sqrt{E} e^{-E/\theta} dE\).

Parameters:theta (float) – Effective temperature for distribution in eV Variables:theta (float) – Effective temperature for distribution in eV
