Kinetic equations for plasmas subjected to a strong time-dependent external field

  • 1. Brussels Univ. (Belgium). Faculte des Sciences

Description

The kinetic equation obtained in parts 1 and 2 is treated stochastically: the external field is stochastic, with an average and a fluctuating part. The turbulence of the system is described by the induced fluctuations in the plasma, and a general equation is derived for the average distribution function. As a particular case, the stochastic Vlasov equation is treated explicitly, and compared with the descriptions of Dupree, Weinstock and Benford & Thomson.
