Abstract
In this paper, we study the global existence of solutions to the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system in the whole space by using the refined energy method. In the proof, the a priori estimates on the macroscopic and microscopic components of solutions are obtained by use of the macroscopic balance laws. As a by-product, the algebraic decay rate of solutions converge to the global Maxwellian, which established by employing the Fourier analysis.
