Abstract

A calculation with respect to momentum transfer by the electron–neutral collisions is carried out, based on an idea that collision phenomena should be characterized by mean free path rather than by the collision time, and correction terms are derived for the previous equation of momentum conservation and the previous approach to the Boltzmann collision integral.
