Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to study the diffusion of a rarefied electron gas in a random distribution of field particles, and in presence of an impressed external electric field. Electrons are emitted by a plane source, and undergo scattering or ionization collisions against field particles. The analysis is carried out resorting to the linear Boltzmann transport equation for the electron distribution function, and following a recently developed integral formulation. Several results of physical interest are presented and briefly discussed.
