Shielding of a slow test charge in a collisional plasma

Description

The potential of a slowly moving test charge is considered. Collisional effects are described by a simple BGK model as well as a Lorentz model. It is found that the far-field potential may fall off as the inverse square of distance when the collision frequency is larger than the plasma frequency.
