RESEARCH ON THE MICRO-STRUCTURE OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN A PLASMA. PART I. ON THE STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF STOCHASTIC FIELDS

Abstract

Questions connected with the statistics of field quantities are considered. The model is a system of uncorrelated random sources: the field quantities being linear and instantaneous functions of the source coordinates. General properties of the C function, non-uniform particle density, the evaluation of the C function for binary field correlations are studied. Polynomial expansion in terms of the Fourier-component of the non-uniformity and the distance and inverse distance between the correlation points are given. (Author)
