Due to ion-electron collisions, it is impossible to derive any two-fluid model for plasma as a direct hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system for ions and electrons. At the same time, electrons are much lighter than their ion…
Collisions of polar $^{1}\Sigma$ state molecules at ultralow energies are considered, within a model that accounts for long-range dipole-dipole interactions, plus rotation of the molecules. We predict a substantial suppression of…
