Excerpt from Wave Motion in a Plasma Based on a Fokker-Planck Equation

We introduce an isotropic approximation to the fokker-planck collision operators in Boltzmann's equations in order to study small amplitude wave motion in a fully ionized, neutral, two component plasma in a steady, applied magnetic field. With this model we find Larmor resonance modes which can not be found from theories based on the relaxation model of Bhatnagar, Gross and Krook[1] (the Krook model). We remark that so far the Krook model is the only other collision model from which one computes Larmor resonances. Moreover, these modes persist in a certain non-uniform collisionless limit.
