Description

The explicit form of the weakly-relativistic Vlasov and the Fokker-Planck collision operators for a multispecies plasma are evaluated by using a systematic expansion in βunderscore=vunderscore/c and retaining corrections up to the second order. Properties of these operators are investigated. copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
