A Monte Carlo simulation of the effect of ion self-collisions on the ion velocity distribution function in the high-latitude F-region
Non-Maxwellian ion velocity distribution functions have been theoretically predicted and confirmed by observations, to occur at high latitudes. These distributions deviate from Maxwellian due to the combined effect of the <strong>E</strong>×<strong>B</strong> drift and io...
