Self-Consistent Theory of Waves in Fluctuating Plasma.
Abstract
At the microscopic level, the plasma field is described by stochastic (operator) variables determined by the non-linear Maxwell-Klimontovitch equations. Via a perturbation-theoretic analysis familiar from general scattering theory, one can derive from these stochastic microscopic equations the kinetic equations descriptive of the macroscopic plasma field. In a many particle system - the author considers specifically a system of charged particles with long range electromagnetic interactions such as in a plasma - one has to describe self-consistently both the particle dynamics and the field dynamics.
