Abstract: This paper is concerned with the statistical mechanics of an hydrogenic plasma. Ions are no more randomly fixed, however the present formulation is similar to that of paper (I): starting from the “physical” problem we introduce an “ideal” problem, with an enlarged state space, defined in such a way that its dynamical evolution leads to the dynamical evolution of the “physical” one by means of a projection technique. The fundamental features of the “ideal” problem make it simpler than the physical one: usual commutation relations for the “ideal” creation and annihilation operators and two-particle hamiltonian (instead of an infinite-number-of-particle hamiltonian as in all previous works).
