چکیده

We obtain an explicit generalization, within Fokker-Planck dynamics, of Einstein's relation between drag, diffusion, and the equilibrium distribution for a spatially homogeneous system, considering both the transverse and longitudinal diffusion for dimension n>1. We provide a complete characterization of the equilibrium distribution in terms of the drag and diffusion transport coefficients. We apply this analysis to charm quark dynamics in a thermal quark-gluon plasma for the case of collisional equilibration.

Anomalous diffusion in non-equilibrium relativistic heavy-ion rapidity spectra

There is experimental and theoretical evidence that the broad rapidity distribution of net proton yield (p − p) in central heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies could be a signal of non-equilibrium properties of the system. We show that the broad rapidity shape can be well reproduced in the framework of a non-linear relativistic Fokker-Planck dynamics which incorporates non-extensive statistics ...

The Grazing Collision Limit of the Inelastic Kac Model around a Lévy-type Equilibrium

This paper is devoted to the grazing collision limit of the inelastic Kac model introduced in [PT04], when the equilibrium distribution function is a heavy-tailed Lévy-type distribution with infinite variance. We prove that solutions in an appropriate domain of attraction of the equilibrium distribution converge to solutions of a Fokker-Planck equation with a fractional diffusion operator.

Numerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks

Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...

Long-time Dynamics in Approach to Equilibrium

We discuss the approach to equilibrium of systems governed by the Fokker-Planck equation. In particular, we focus on problems involving barrier penetration and the associated Kramers’ time. We also describe the connection between stochastic processes and quantum mechanics. Keywards: Fokker-Planck equation; Approach to equilibrium; Barrier penetration

Charmonia enhancement in quark-gluon plasma with improved description of c-quarks phase-distribution

We present a dynamical model of heavy quark evolution in the quarkgluon plasma (QGP) based on the Fokker-Planck equation. We then apply this model to the case of central ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions performed at RHIC and estimate the component of J/ψ production (integrated and differential) stemming from c-c̄ pairs that are initially uncorrelated.
