Description The time development of electron distribution function and electron macroscopic parameters was studied by solving the time-dependent Boltzmann equation for low temperature plasma. A new technique to solve the time-dependent Boltzmann equation was developed. This technique is based on a multi-term approximation of the electron distribution function expansion in Legendre polynomials. The results for the Reid ramp model are presented. The accuracy of the results was confirmed by the Monte Carlo simulation.
