Electron distribution function in a nonideal plasma in strong electric andlaser fields

Using a two-term approximation to the kinetic equation, the generalized ele ctron energy and momentum distribution which governs the electron transport and rate properties in nonideal plasma is analyzed. A class of general sol utions of the equation is found in the model case which is widely used in s emiconductor plasma. An equation that generalizes the well-known Zeldovich- Raizer quantum kinetic equation in the case of nonideal plasma is deduced. Explicit nonequilibrium solutions of this equation for the electron energy and momentum distribution function in a strong laser field are constructed.
