This package calculates the emission and absorption coefficients from suprathermal and runaway electrons. The wave polarization is approximated using cold plasma theory, while emission and absorption strengths are assumed to derive from resonance interactions with the tail electrons [1].
A good summary of the problem and its implications can be found in section 5.2.3 of [2].
