SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the characterization of high energy ion spectra in relation to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. It is established that the ion spectrum, resulting from electric discharge in gas, exhibits a peak energy of 30 keV and an endpoint energy of 1.5 MeV. The participants explore the feasibility of categorizing this spectrum as a High Energy Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, emphasizing its collisional nature. The implications of this classification are significant for understanding energy distributions in plasma physics.
