Abstract

A theory of charged particle transport for small potential perturbations in a fully ionized plasma is developed on the basis of solving a linearized kinetic equation with the Landau collision integral. This theory is free of any constraints on the characteristic time and spatial scales of perturbations. Ion fluxes appropriate for an arbitrary ion-ion collision frequency that can ensure nonlocal space-time transport in the plasma are calculated. The obtained ion transport coefficients are used to calculate the partial contribution of ions to the longitudinal permittivity of collisional plasma. The resulting expression for the plasma permittivity is applicable in the entire range of frequencies and wavenumbers.
