Supplementary material for "Inverse bremsstrahlung absorption and ion stopping in super-Gaussian electron distributions: parametric limits and accessible laser-heated conditions": code, data and validation records

This record contains the supplementary material for the article "Inverse bremsstrahlung absorption and ion stopping in super-Gaussian electron distributions: parametric limits and accessible laser-heated conditions" by Manal M. Al-Ali, Anas M. Ababneh and Ahmed Al-Khateeb. It includes the Python source code, the numerical data behind all figures and tables, and the validation records. The code computes the collisionless dielectric response, the inverse bremsstrahlung structural factors and the electronic stopping power for super-Gaussian electron distributions. Results cover an idealised dense DT reference and two laser-heated conditions (an argon gas-jet plasma and a CH direct-drive corona) whose charge states come from an included ionisation-balance estimate. All verification checks passed; an independent implementation agrees with the production solver to within 10⁻⁷ at every benchmark point. Version 2 adds the laser-heated cases; all version 1 files are unchanged.
