Transport in non-ideal, multi-species plasmas

Charged particle transport plays a critical role in the evolution of high energy-density plasmas. As high-fidelity plasma models continue to incorporate new micro-physics, understanding multi-species becomes increasingly important. We briefly outline theoretical challenges going beyond single-component systems and binary mixtures as well emphasize roles experiment, simulation, theory, modeling can play advancing this field. The 2020 Division Plasma Physics mini-conference on Transport Non-Ideal, Multi-Species Plasmas was organized bring together broad community focused plasmas with many species. This special topics issue touches aspects ion presented at that mini-conference. will provide some context for future growth
