EXACT RELATIVISTIC FOKKER-PLANCK COEFFICIENTS FOR A PLASMA

A plasma is considered which, in zero order, is static, spatially uniform, and infinite in extent and with no external electric or magnetic fields. Exact relativistic FokkerPlanck coefficients are obtained by a solution of the first order coupled integral equations for the particle and oscillator pair correlation functions. The solution is by a generalization of the method of Lenard and Balescu. The resulting coefficients have contributions from both coulomb interactions and from interactions via transverse electromnagnetic fields. (auth)
