Abstract

An approach to the evaluation of the collisional transfer rates of the components of the temperature tensor between drifting tri-Maxwellians for an arbitrary central interaction force between the particles is given. We describe an explicit calculation of the transfer rates of the parallel and perpendicular temperatures of test particles in an isotropie background gas. With a concise form for the transfer rates, we also find the time-independent solution of the transport equation for the anisotropic temperature of ions, as test particles in a drifting neutral background with an external magnetic field.
