| Abstract: | A nonmarkovian and nonlocal kinetic equation, which is a generalization of the (nonlinear) Balescu‐Lenard equation, is derived for a weakly nonuniform multicomponent polarizable plasma. A specific expansion of the plasma resolvent, which allow to separate the dymamic, kinetic and hydrodynamic scales, is proposed. Explicit expressions of the collision integral and of the nonequilibrium pair correlation function are given in an approximation which take into account the effect of patial and temporal nonlocality a well as of the polarization. Balance equation for the momentum and energy densitie are calculated in the first order in nonlocality, and potential contributions to the fluxes due to polarization are obtained. |
