TRANSPORT EQUATION OF A PLASMA
Journal Article

· Revs. Modern Phys.
It is shown that the many-body problem in plasmas can be handled explicitly. An equation describing the collective effects of the problem is derived. For simplicity, a onecomponent gas is considered in a continuous neutralizing background. The tool for handling the problem is provided by the general theory of irreversible processes in gases. The equation derived describes the interaction of electrons which are"dressed" by a polarization cloud. The polarization cloud differs from the Debye cloud. (B.O.G.)
