We introduce a L\'evy-Lorentz gas in which a light particle is scattered by static point scatterers arranged on a line. We investigate the case where the intervals between scatterers $\{\xi_i \}$ are independent random variables identically…
Simulations are made of a probe particle diffusing through a complex fluid. Probe particle motions are described by the Mori-Zwanzig equation and Mori's orthogonal hierarchy of random forces scheme, subject to the approximation that the…
In 1911, J\"uttner proposed the generalization, for a relativistic gas, of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities. Here we want to discuss, among others, J\"uttner probability density function (PDF). Both the velocity space and,…
The evolution of a gas can be described by different models depending on the observation scale. A natural question, raised by Hilbert in his sixth problem, is whether these models provide consistent predictions. In particular, for rarefied…
The usual Kramers theory of reaction rates in a condensed medium predict the rate to have an $\eta^{-1}$ dependence, $\eta$ being the viscosity of the medium. However, experiments on ligand binding to proteins performed long ago, showed the…
Bragg diffraction divides a Bose-Einstein condensate into two overlapping components, moving with respect to each other with high momentum. Elastic collisions between atoms from distinct wave packets can significantly deplete the…
