Abstract:

The effect on plasma wave echoes of Coulomb collisions described by a complete Fokker-Planck collision term is determined theoretically by application, in first and second orders, of the particular integral of a linearized kinetic equation which is capable of describing a Fokker-Planck collisional kinetic equation in the resonant region.
