The Effect of Nuclear Elastic Scattering on Temperature Equilibration Rate of Ions in Fusion Plasma by M. Mahdavi, R. Azadifar, T. Koohrokhi

“…A plasma with two different particle types and at different temperatures has been considered, so that each type of ion with Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function is in temperature equilibrium with itself. Using the extracted nuclear elastic scattering differential cross-section from experimental data, solving the Boltzmann equation, and also taking into account the mobility of the background particles, temperature equilibration rate between two different ions in a fusion plasma is calculated. …”
