Abstract
A system of one-dimensional multigroup equations for the first three moments of the electron distribution function in the range of intermediate and high energies is derived. The system includes equations for the balance of concentration, flux density and momentum flux density of electrons and it is intended for numerical simulations of processes involving fast electrons in weakly ionized cold plasma.
