Abstract
A numerical analysis of the asymmetric part of electron–electron collision integral is presented. The results are given in the form of graphs for two commonly considered plasma situations: the collision-dominated case (symmetric part of electron distribution is Maxwellian) and the field-dominated case (symmetric part of electron distribution is Druyvesteynian). The importance of the asymmetric part of e-e collision integral in the Boltzmann equation is also discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
