Collisional equipartition rate for a magnetized pure electron plasma

摘要: The collisional equipartition rate between the parallel and perpendicular velocity components is calculated for a weakly correlated electron plasma that immersed in uniform magnetic field. Here, refer to direction of depends on parameter κ=(b/rc)/, where rc=(T/m)1/2/Ωc cyclotron radius b=2e2/T twice distance closest approach. For strongly magnetized (i.e., κ≫1), exponentially small (ν∼exp[−5(3πκ)2/5/6]). κ≪1), same as an unmagnetized except rc/b replaces λD/b Coulomb logarithm. (It assumed here rc λD, effectively unmagnetized.) This paper contains numerical treatment spans intermediate regime κ∼1, connects onto asymptotic results two limits κ≪1 κ≫1. Also, improved expression high‐field limit derived. T...
