SUMMARY:Séminaire du LPTMS : Sanjib Sabhapandit - LPTMS\, salle 201\, 2èm
 e étage\, Bât 100\, Campus d'Orsay - 29 Avr 14 11:00
DESCRIPTION:High-energy tail of the velocity distribution of driven inelast
 ic Maxwell gases\nSanjib Sabhapandit\, Raman Research Institute\, Bangalor
 e\n\n\n\nA model of homogeneously driven dissipative system\, consisting o
 f a collection of $N$ particles that are characterized by only their veloc
 ities\, is considered. Adopting a discrete time dynamics\, at each time st
 ep\, a pair of velocities is randomly selected. They undergo inelastic col
 lision with probability $p$. With probability $(1-p)$\, energy of the syst
 em is changed by changing the velocities of both the particles independent
 ly according to $v\\rightarrow -r_w v +\\eta$\, where $\\eta$ is a Gaussia
 n noise drawn independently for each particle as well as at each time step
 s. For the case $r_w=- 1$\, although the energy of the system seems to sat
 urate (indicating a steady state) after time steps of $O(N)$\, it grows li
 nearly with time after time steps of $O(N^2)$\, indicating the absence of 
 a eventual steady state. For $ -1 &lt\;r_w \\leq 1$\, the system reaches a
  steady state\, where the average energy per particle and the correlation 
 of velocities are obtained exactly. In the thermodynamic limit of large $N
 $\, an exact equation is obtained for the moment generating function. In t
 he limit of nearly elastic collisions and weak energy injection\, the velo
 city distribution is shown to be a Gaussian. Otherwise\, for $|r_w| &lt\; 
 1$\, the high-energy tail of the velocity distribution is Gaussian\, with 
 a different variance\, while for $r_w=+1$ the velocity distribution has an
  exponential tail.\n \n\n\n
