Abstract

A relativistic generalization of the Fokker–Planck formalism has been constructed. This is applied to the study of energy loss of high-energy electrons in plasma. Both the electron–electron and electron–ion scattering have been considered in a relativistic way. The expression obtained for the stopping power differs from that derived with the help of thermodynamic Green's function technique.
