abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We present a numerical method to solve the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck
(VPFP) system using the $NRxx$ method proposed in [4, 7, 9]. A globally hyperbolic
moment system similar to that in [23] is derived. In this system, the Fokker-Planck
(FP) operator term is reduced into the linear combination of the moment coefficients,
which can be solved analytically under proper truncation. The non-splitting method,
which can keep mass conservation and the balance law of the total momentum, is used
to solve the whole system. A numerical problem for the VPFP system with an analytic
solution is presented to indicate the spectral convergence with the moment number
and the linear convergence with the grid size. Two more numerical experiments are
tested to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of the $NRxx$ method when applied to
the VPFP system.</p>},
