The investigation of the mobility \(\mu\) of quasi-free electrons in dense, cold helium gas as a function of its density \(N\) is made difficult by the fact that a significant fraction of electrons is localized in low mobility bubbles. The…
The $H$-theorem, originally derived at the level of Boltzmann non-linear kinetic equation for a dilute gas undergoing elastic collisions, strongly constrains the velocity distribution of the gas to evolve irreversibly towards equilibrium.…
