Correlation Funktions of a System with Different Temperatures of the Particle Components
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.
