Abstract
This paper employs a hybrid virial — Debye-chain cluster expansion to reinterpret a collective-coordinate calculation of electric microfield distributions in a plasma. A numerical evaluation of corrections previously neglected is presented. Comparisons with Monte Carlo and molecular-dynamics results are included.Keywords
