| Summary: | The effects of the production and loss
mechanisms that affect the Boltzmann equations are considered by the inclusion
of a reactive term. The necessary elements to develop a proper form for this
term are revised and the current trends analyzed. Although no accurate
theoretical treatment of the problem is possible due to the many body nature of
it, important relations can be derived which, besides being representative of
the quantitative aspects of the matter, are illustrative of the qualitative
features of the phenomenon. The overall procedure is detailed in this revision. |
