Kang-Redner Anomaly in Cluster-Cluster Aggregation

Abstract

The large time, small mass, asymptotic behavior of the average mass distribution $\pb$ is studied in a $d$-dimensional system of diffusing aggregating particles for $1\le d\le 2$. By means of both a renormalization group computation as well as a direct re-summation of leading terms in the small reaction-rate expansion of the average mass distribution, it is shown that $\pb \sim \frac{1}{t^d} (\frac{m^{1/d}}{\sqrt{t}})^{e_{KR}}$ for $m\ll t^{d/2}$, where $e_{KR}=\epsilon +O({\epsilon }^2)$ and $\epsilon =2-d$. In two dimensions, it is shown that $\pb \sim \frac{\ln(m) \ln(t)}{t^2}$ for $m\ll t/\ln (t)$. Numerical simulations in two dimensions supporting the analytical results are also presented.
