Abstract

We investigate the Fokker–Planck Equation (FPE) in which we retain electron–ion and electron–electron collision terms, as well as the inverse-bremsstrahlung absorption term. We exhibit asymptotic solutions, which are then used in a linear perturbation theory ‘à la Spitzer’, to calculate local transport coefficients. Their values can differ drastically from classical results, which in turn alters hydrocode simulations.
