Abstract

The collision term of the Fokker-Planck-type magnetized kinetic equation is approximated for an electron-ion plasma in a strong external uniform magnetic field. The collision term is evaluated explicitly in the case of unmagnetized Maxwellian ions for 1<η=Ωe/ωpi √2<λ. It is shown that the dominant effects are determined by the parameter ln (λ/η) which replaces the Coulomb logarithm lnλ in the components of the diffusion coeficientD.
