Abstract
An exact analytical solution of the nonlinear boson diffusion equation is presented. It accounts for the time evolution toward the Bose–Einstein equilibrium distribution through inelastic and elastic collisions in the case of constant transport coefficients. As a currently interesting application, gluon scattering in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is investigated. An estimate of the time-dependent gluon-condensate formation in overoccupied systems through number-conserving elastic scatterings in Pb–Pb collisions at relativistic energies is given.
期刊介绍:
JSTAT is targeted to a broad community interested in different aspects of statistical physics, which are roughly defined by the fields represented in the conferences called ''Statistical Physics''. Submissions from experimentalists working on all the topics which have some ''connection to statistical physics are also strongly encouraged.
The journal covers different topics which correspond to the following keyword sections.
1. Quantum statistical physics, condensed matter, integrable systems
Scientific Directors: Eduardo Fradkin and Giuseppe Mussardo
2. Classical statistical mechanics, equilibrium and non-equilibrium
Scientific Directors: David Mukamel, Matteo Marsili and Giuseppe Mussardo
3. Disordered systems, classical and quantum
Scientific Directors: Eduardo Fradkin and Riccardo Zecchina
4. Interdisciplinary statistical mechanics
Scientific Directors: Matteo Marsili and Riccardo Zecchina
5. Biological modelling and information
