SCATTERING CROSS-SECTIONS AND ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY IN FULLY IONIZED HYDROGEN PLASMA

The cross sections for the scattering of charged particles in hydrogen plasma are determined within the partial wave method. The scattering phase shifts delta(1) are obtained from a numerical solution of the Sc hrodinger equation using an effective potential that takes into accoun t also three-particle correlations. The resulting scattering cross sec tions are compared with the respective Born approximation and those ob tained for the usual Debye potential which represents only two-particl e correlations. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of fully ioni zed hydrogen plasma is determined within the Chapman-Enskog method and compared with available experimental data and other theoretical appro aches up to the nonideal region.
