- Abstract:
- Abstract : The Fokker–Planck transport equation describing the motion of energetic particles through a plasma is explored analytically. The latter equation provides a pitch-angle and position-dependent distribution function of the charged particles. In the current paper the first 14 moments of this equation are computed exactly for an arbitrary initial pitch angle. Such analytical forms are required in nonlinear treatments of perpendicular transport and other scenarios in plasma physics and astrophysics.
