openmc.stats.Maxwell¶
- class openmc.stats.Maxwell(theta)[source]¶
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
