Electron Avalanche Statistics
Since the times of the founders of streamer theory — Raether [1], Loeb [2] and Meek [3] — a special attention has been paid to high populated electron avalanches possessing potential to overgrowing into streamers. One of the basic problem that has not been resolved so far concerns anomalous statistical behavior of big avalanches with electron populations n > 10. The mentioned anomaly consists i...
متن کاملFinite-size effects of avalanche dynamics.
We study the avalanche dynamics of a system of globally coupled threshold elements receiving random input. The model belongs to the same universality class as the random-neighbor version of the Olami-Feder-Christensen stick-slip model. A closed expression for avalanche size distributions is derived for arbitrary system sizes N using geometrical arguments in the system's configuration space. For...
متن کاملViscoelastic deformation for a clustered earthquake cycle
[1] The clustering of earthquakes in time on the same fault affects the rate and pattern of interseismic deformation. We develop a simple analytic viscoelastic model of the surface velocity field through a clustered earthquake cycle by superposing the velocities of individual earthquake cycles of constant period but varying phase. Velocity profiles prior to and after an earthquake show a wider ...
متن کاملStrict key avalanche criterion
A block cipher, such as the DES cipher, is used to encrypt binary plaintext in discrete blocks of length n using a key of length m, to form ciphertext blocks of length n. A block cipher is said to satisfy the strict key avalanche criterion if a one bit change in the key causes on the average one half of the ciphertext bit positions to change. In this paper the importance of the strict key avala...
متن کاملAvalanche statistics and time-resolved grain dynamics for a driven heap.
We probe the dynamics of intermittent avalanches caused by steady addition of grains to a quasi-two-dimensional heap. To characterize the time-dependent average avalanche flow speed v(t) , we image the top free surface. To characterize the grain fluctuation speed deltav(t) , we use speckle-visibility spectroscopy. During an avalanche, we find that the fluctuation speed is approximately one-tent...
