Helioseismology can test the Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution
Nuclear reactions in stars occur between nuclei in the high-energy tail of the energy distribution and are sensitive to possible deviations from the standard equilibrium thermal-energy distribution. We are able to derive strong constraints on such deviations by using the detailed helioseismic information of the solar structure. If a small deviation is parameterized with a factor exp{−δ(E/kT) 2 ...
متن کاملMaxwell-Boltzmann Distribution for He Ions
Statistical mechanics deals with systems having a large number of particles. In statistical mechanics, large scale properties (such as temperature, pressure etc) are studied by applying probability theory to a large number of small particles. Hence this is a probabilistic theory and the behaviour of all of the system is studied using the average individual behaviour of particles. With small num...
متن کاملTesting the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution using Brownian particles.
We report on shot-noise limited measurements of the instantaneous velocity distribution of a Brownian particle. Our system consists of a single micron-sized glass sphere held in an optical tweezer in a liquid in equilibrium at room temperature. We provide a direct verification of a modified Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and modified energy equipartition theorem that account for the ki...
متن کامل2 1 Ja n 20 13 Maxwell ’ s Demon and Maxwell - Boltzmann Distribution
In a simple model of Maxwell’s demon endowed with a Turing-type memory tape, we present an operational derivation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in the equilibrium statistical mechanics. It is based solely on the combined gas law of the elementary thermodynamics for the model of the memory. Equilibrium is defined in terms of the stability of thermodynamic work F against noise, where F is...
متن کاملVlasov-maxwell-boltzmann Diffusive Limit
We study the diffusive expansion for solutions around Maxwellian equilibrium and in a periodic box to the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, the most fundamental model for an ensemble of charged particles. Such an expansion yields a set of dissipative new macroscopic PDE’s, the incompressible Vlasov-Navier-Stokes-Fourier system and its higher order corrections for describing a charged fluid, wher...
