Abstract
The effective potential acting on particles in plasmas being essentially the Debye-shielded Coulomb potential, the particles collisional transport in thermal equilibrium is calculated for all impact parameters , with a convergent expression reducing to Rutherford scattering for small . No cutoff at the Debye length scale is needed, and the Coulomb logarithm is only slightly modified.
