A diffusion limit for a test particle in a random distribution of scatterers
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2511541
Abstract: We consider a point particle moving in a random distribution of obstacles described by a potential barrier. We show that, in a weak-coupling regime, under a diffusion limit suggested by the potential itself, the probability distribution of the particle converges to the solution of the heat equation. The diffusion coefficient is given by the Green-Kubo formula associated to the generator of the diffusion process dictated by the linear Landau equation.
One considers the dynamics of a particle which moves in a random distribution of obstacles defined by a circular potential barrier, in the dimension two (which is more complicated than the dimension three), and the paper provides the limit when the scaling parameter tends to zero; result which is of physical interest in geometrical optics, for instance. The approach works essentially via scattering and elastic reflection.
