The gas-dynamic parameters of an ionized medium formed during impact ionization of a rarefied gas by fast electrons are considered. The concentration, drift velocity, and specific energy of low-energy secondary electrons are constructed by an approximate solution of the kinetic equation. Approximations of the spatial homogeneity of the kinetic equation and the isotropy of the initial distribution of secondary electrons during impact ionization are used. Additional approximations are related to the structure of the distribution function of secondary electrons and averaging of the cross sections.

An experimental verification of the mathematical model of the generation of bremsstrahlung radiation by electrons and the formation of an electromagnetic field during its scattering is considered. A physical experiment was used in which a high-current accelerator formed bremsstrahlung in a target-converter, as well as an emission electron flux and an electromagnetic field in a sealed chamber. The results of physical and simulating computational experiments coincided to within an order of magnitude.
