The Classical Binary and Triplet Distribution Functions for Dilute Relativistic Plasma

The aim of this paper is to calculate the binary and triplet distribution functions for dilute relativistic plasma in terms of the thermal parameter μ where , is the mass of charge; c is the speed of light; k is the Boltzmann’s constant; and T is the absolute temperature. Our calculations are based on the relativistic Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy. We obtain classical binary and triplet distribution functions for one- and two-component plasmas. The excess free energy and pressure are represented in the forms of a convergent series expansions in terms of the thermal parameter μ.
