Abstract

The effects of ion-ion collisions, described by a Fokker-Planck operator in the kinetic equation, on an ion-acoustic plasma pulse, are studied. Our investigations show that the coffisions give a broadening of the pulse, and reduce the effect of interaction between the main plasma and the pulse.
