A.C. conductivity in a homogeneous plasma from a convergent collision integral
Abstract
Recently a spatially uniform expression for the time asymptotic binary correlation function of a Landau-stable plasma was derived from the BBGKY hierarchy equations. In this paper, the high-frequency (Vei w ωpe) electrical conductivity of a spatially homogeneous, unmagnetized Lorentz plasma
is calculated from this expression; the result is compared with those obtained from other convergent collision integrals.- Publication:
