On simplifying approaches to the solution of the Boltzmann equation in spatially inhomogeneous plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present simplified approaches to the kinetic description of the electron component in weakly ionized plasmas based on the direct solution of the Boltzmann equation in some limiting situations, namely the ''nonlocal" approximation in a weakly collisional plasma and the ''local'' approximation in an extremely collisional one.

Motions of Ions and Electrons

W. P. Allis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical method to follow the motion of an individual particle under a Lorentz force including the effects of gradients of the magnetic field, including collisions.

Plasma modelling and numerical simulation

TL;DR: An editorial review of plasma modelling provides a bird’s eye perspective on plasma modelling and discussing the historical context in which it has surfaced, as well as introducing and complementing 20 invited contributions.

Nonlocal electron kinetics in gas-discharge plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, the field of electron kinetics in extremely nonequilibrium glow discharge plasma is reviewed, starting from the classical works of Langmuir, and it is shown that it is only in terms of kinetics that many aspects of none-quilibrium plasma, such as the structure of nearelectrode regions, spatial profiles of ionization and luminosity, striations and particle and energy flows, can be adequately understood.

Gaseous Radiation Detectors: Fundamentals and Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the drift and diffusion of charges in gases, collisional excitations and charge multiplication in uniform fields, and drift chambers and time projection chambers for time degeneracy and aging.
