Abstract

Scattering in the attractive screened Coulomb (Yukawa) potential in the limit of strong interaction is investigated. It is shown that the scattering occurs mostly with large angles. The corresponding momentum-transfer cross section is calculated. The results are applied to estimate the ion drag force acting on an isolated micron-sized grain in low-pressure bulk plasmas.
