Abstract
Electron heat transport is studied for a variety of presumed non-Maxwellian distribution functions in the presence of steep temperature gradients. For a representative group of distribution functions the heat flow in the region lambda T/LT approximately=0.1 relevant for laser-plasma interaction ( lambda T is the thermal mean free path, LT is the temperature gradient scale length) is much smaller than the free streaming value.
