Derivation of a generalized Boltzmann type kinetic equation
Abstract
A quasi-classical approximation for the amplitude of particle scattering in a medium is analyzed, which depends on the total momentum of the colliding particles, and which statistically and correctly describes diffraction effects during forward scattering. With the aid of this approximation the Kadanov-Beim (1964) equations can be considerably simplified, and a generalized kinetic equation is obtained for the distribution function with generalized self-consistent field, which is determined from the amplitude of forward scattering in the medium. Corresponding transport equations have a general form, although the hydrodynamic quantities appearing in them take into account correlations in the medium. An eikonal T-approximation enables representing them in the form of the sum of a term corresponding to an ideal gas and a term for the correlation correction. A procedure is developed for solving the resulting equation, which yields nonlocal solutions taking into account delay.
