Description

Streaming or beam-driven kinetic theory is formulated for a relativistic and collisional plasma diffusing across magnetic field lines, including the small density and temperature gradient. Explicit formulas for modified transport coefficients are presented in various thermal regimes of interest. Their dependence on streaming velocity (V0) is discussed qualitatively. copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
