The Distribution Function and Transport Properties of Charged Particles in Strong, Crossed Electric and Magnetic fields

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Ioffe Institute as follows: The contractor will investigate the Distribution Function and Transport Properties of Charged Particles in Strong, Crossed Electric and Magnetic fields. The grantee will investigate a method to calculate the matrix elements of the Boltzmann equation collision integral for large values of the indices as well as arbitrary interaction potentials. This proposal is targeted for solving the transport problems in strong fields and would be very useful in the computation of weakly ionized plasmas and the extraction of cross-section data from experiments.
