Debye-shielding potential in the presence of pair correlations
- Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, I/AF Bidhannagar, Calcutta 700 064 (India)
The first-order kinetic equation of the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy of equations for an equilibrium inhomogeneous plasma is shown to contain an effective force resulting from pair correlations that depends on the gradient of the average electric field modulus. Such a kinetic equation is utilized to obtain a Boltzmann distribution that includes the effects of correlations. For an electron-ion plasma with stationary ions and finite electron-electron correlations, the nature of the Debye-screening potential is investigated.
