Electron distribution function in a nonideal plasma in strong electric and laser fields

Using a two-term approximation to the kinetic equation, the generalized electron energy and momentum distribution which governs the electron transport and rate properties in nonideal plasma is analyzed. A class of general solutions of the equation is found in the model case which is widely used in semiconductor plasma. An equation that generalizes the well-known Zeldovich-Raizer quantum kinetic equation in the case of nonideal plasma is deduced. Explicit nonequilibrium solutions of this equation for the electron energy and momentum distribution function in a strong laser field are constructed.
