We consider a plasma consisting of particle components with different temperatures. The components are uniformly distributed in the configuration space and MAXWELLIAN in the velocity space. Pair correlations are assumed to be small and higher order correlations negligible. It is shown from the BBGKY-hierarchy that the influence of the electrons on the ion kinetics can be taken into account by treating the ions as dressed particles. The hierarchy for these dressed particles provides the ion-ion correlation function. The electron-ion pair correlation is calculated from the POISSON equation using the ion-ion correlation and relating the electron-ion pair distribution to the average potential. By the same procedure we derive the electron-electron correlation making use of the electron-ion correlation. The results are compared with those of other authors.

It is well known that the properties of stable quiescent plasma may be calculated by a method known as the ‘superposition of dressed particles’. In this paper an analogous superposition principle is constructed for turbulent plasmas. This shows that the turbulent fluctuations may suppress the growth of the instabilities that give rise to them. The fluctuation spectrum, diffusion coefficient and dielectric constant of turbulent plasma are calculated for the guiding centre model. The relationship of this theory to that of Dupree and Weinstock is discussed.
