Abstract

Consideration is given to problems of obtaining exact and approximate solutions of kinetic equations in the multiple scattering problem. For cross sections which are rational functions of χ2 (χ = 2sin(δ/2), δ is the scattering angle) exact solutions are obtained as a series in terms of Legendre polynomials. The limits of validity of the kinetic equation for the distribution function in terms of the variable q = 2sin(ϑ/2) are refined [1] and the solutions of this equation are compared with the exact solutions of the Rutherford and Mott cross sections. The problem of convergence of approximate solutions in the form of a series in terms of Legendre polynomials and a series in powers of 1/B is solved. These approximations are obtained and their limits of validity are determined.
