Abstract

The BBGKY hierarchy for a two-dimensional magnetized plasma is considered in the weak-coupling and small plasma parameter limits for very large magnetic fields. The Fokker-Planck and Balescu-Lenard equations satisfy an H-theorem and conservation laws, and exhibit two cut-offs related to the periodicity of the particle orbits and to the distance of closest approach of a thermal particle.
