Abstract
- The full Coulomb collision operator and its moments including nonlinear terms are analytically calculated in the moment expansion. In coupling nonlinear terms, the product formula which expresses a product of two harmonic tensors as a series of single harmonic tensors is derived. The collision operators and moments are written in explicit formulas for arbitrary moments and for arbitrary temperature and mass ratios. These expressions easily reduce to formulas for the small mass-ratio approximation or for like species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
