We study experimentally the particle velocity fluctuations in an electrostatically driven dilute granular gas. The experimentally obtained velocity distribution functions have strong deviations from Maxwellian form in a wide range of parameters. We have found that the tails of the distribution functions are consistent with a stretched exponential law with typical exponents of the order 3/2. Molecular dynamic simulations shows qualitative agreement with experimental data. Our results suggest that this non-Gaussian behavior is typical for most inelastic gases with both short and long range interactions.

  1. On the transformation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution to a Power-Law

    astro-ph.HE 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Power-law distributions arise in colliding hard-sphere systems from Maxwell-Boltzmann when starting far from equilibrium, with scale-free intermediate dynamics and open scale-free boundaries.
