An Irreversible Quantum Equation and Electron Relaxation
Jean Salmon
131 rue de l'Université, 75007 Paris, France
After having reviewed the role of electron relaxation in the study of a weakly ionized plasma, we propose an irreversible quantum equation in order to describe an electron transition using a relaxation term and an exchange term.
Keywords: relaxation, collision frequency, electron transition, dipole, quantum equation, exchange operator
