Description

This paper extends the momentum-transfer theory of drift tubes to ion traps and similar devices where the electric fields vary with both position and time. The collision frequencies that are incorporated into two-temperature and multi-temperature moment theories are given precise microscopic definitions instead of being treated as adjustable parameters
