Beyond Maxwell-Boltzmann: Transport in Quasiequilibrium Plasmas

Kamel Ourabah

Quasiequilibrium plasmas show systematically larger transport coefficients than Maxwellian plasmas because of extra energetic particles in the distribution tails.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

quasiequilibrium effects are found to systematically enhance the transport coefficients relative to their Maxwellian values. We quantify this enhancement for the three main universality classes of superstatistics

C2weakest assumption

The distribution of the medium can be expressed as a continuous superposition of Maxwellian distributions, namely through superstatistics, and this framework applies to the observed electron distributions in the solar wind.

C3one line summary

Quasiequilibrium plasmas described by superstatistics exhibit systematically enhanced transport coefficients compared to Maxwellian plasmas due to increased energetic particle populations.
