While various thermal average fitting formulas exist in the literature, their accuracy is limited, particularly for $T_e \\leq 20$ keV with error $>10\\%$. Additionally, non-relativistic fitting formulas become invalid for $T_e \\geq 50$ keV. The accurate calculation of Bremsstrahlung radiation is important for fusion gain study, especially of advanced fuels fusion. In this work, we develop new but still simple fitting formulas that are valid for electron temperatures ranging from small ($\\lesssim0.1$ keV) to extreme relativistic range, with errors of less than 1\\% even for high atomic number ions (e.g., $Z=30$), which could be sufficient for fusion plasma applications. Both electron-ion (e-i) and electron-electron (e-e) Bremsstrahlung radiations are considered. Both polynomial fitting with truncated ($t=k_BT_e/m_ec^2\\leq10$) and one-fit-all formulas are provided. Additionally, we offer fitting formulas for e-i and e-e specifically for electron energies, which could prove useful in non-Maxwellian Bremsstrahlung radiation studies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.11540v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.11540v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"bremsstrahlung-radiation-power-in-fusion","repo_url":"https://github.com/hsxie/brem","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
