On the use of a non-extensive distribution in the solar plasma

Abstract

We describe the physical motivations why we are urged to look for an ionic equilibrium distribution function slightly different from the Maxwellian to calculate nuclear reaction rates in the solar core plasma answering, at the same time, to a recent paper by Bahcall et al. (astro-ph/0010055).
