Connecting few-body inelastic decay to many-body correlations: a weakly coupled impurity in a resonant Fermi gas

Sébastien Laurent, Matthieu Pierce, Marion Delehaye +3

We study three-body recombination in an ultracold Bose-Fermi mixture. We first show theoretically that, for weak inter-species coupling, the loss rate is proportional to Tan's cont…

The Vlasov-Navier-Stokes system in a 2D pipe: existence and stability of regular equilibria

Olivier Glass, Daniel Han-Kwan, Ayman Moussa

In this paper, we study the Vlasov-Navier-Stokes system in a 2D pipe with partially absorbing boundary conditions. We show the existence of stationary states for this system near s…
