The density $$f(s)propto fracss+alphae^-s,quad s > 0$$ where $alpha ge 0$ is a parameter, lives between the exponential ($alpha=0$) and $Gamma(2,1)$ ($alpha to infty$) distributions. Just curious if this happens to be an example of a more general family of distributions? I do not recognize it as such.

If you meant $s>0$ then the density function becomes
$$
f(s) = frac alpha1-2,rm e^alphait Ei left( 3,alpha
right) cdot fracss+alpha e^-s
$$
where $it Ei$ is the exponential integral.
I cannot recognize that as something having a known name. Where did you encounter this?

I needed to define it in the course of working on problem in mathematical genetics. It would not surprise me to find that it is relatively unknown -- always good to double-check though!
