Abstract
We seek a description of plasma wave-particle interactions in the weakly co llisional regime. Because weak collisions produce a qualitative change in t he plasma degrees of freedom without totally suppressing kinetic effects. n either the Vlasov limit nor the fluid moment limit are found to be an adequ ate description of experimental data. Illustrative examples of data that re quire a weakly collisional description are discussed.
