Abstract
A kinetic theory of magnetic field generation in the resonant absorption of light is presented. Previous results are recovered in the purely collisionless regime, while a collisional and an intermediate regime are shown to give rise to new behaviours. Scaling laws are set up in those regimes. The misleading ad-hoc assumptions of previous phenomenological fluid theories are pointed outKeywords
