The low-frequency electromagnetic conductivity of high-temperature, low-density plasmas is examined starting from a linearized kinetic equation of the Balescu type. The equation is solved in the limits ω ≫ Γee and Γii ≫ ω, where Γee and Γii are the inverses of the equipartition times of electrons and ions, respectively. The conductivity is related in a well-known way to the properties of collective waves, and expressions are obtained for the phase velocity and damping of these waves. The results agree with experiment to just within experimental accuracy.
