Abstract

A collision integral for three-wave interactions in a collisionless plasma is derived from the full plasma description by means of the Klimontovich–Dupree and Maxwell equations. This collision integral differs from its traditional counterpart (calculated within the framework of Vlasov theory) by an additional functional factor. This means that the changes in the wave spectral density, which are induced by three-wave interactions, occur with a rate other than that calculated in Vlasov theory.
