Ballistic annihilation kinetics for a multi-velocity one-dimensional ideal gas

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Ballistic annihilation kinetics for a multi-velocity one-dimensional ideal gas is studied in the framework of an exact analytic approach. For an initial symmetric three-velocity distribution, the problem can be solved exactly and it is shown that different regimes exist depending on the initial fraction of particles at rest. Extension to the case of a n-velocity distribution is discussed.
