OSTI ID:4069545
Considering that the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a heavy particle (ion or molecule) and that the number density of electrons is much smaller than that of heavy particles, the collision term of the Boltzmann equation for electrons is simplified. A method of analyzing the equation is devised by considering the subsidiary equations of the original equation. As an example, a plane oscillation of electrons in a warm plasma is studied. (auth)
