Kappa distributions in the framework of superstatistics

Sergio Davis, Biswajit Bora, Cristian Pavez +1

The kappa distribution of velocities appears routinely in the study of collisionless plasmas present in Earth's magnetosphere, the solar wind among other contexts where particles a…

A superstatistical measure of distance from canonical equilibrium

Sergio Davis

Non-equilibrium systems in steady states are commonly described by generalized statistical mechanical theories such as non-extensive statistics and superstatistics. Superstatistics…

Kappa distribution from particle correlations in non-equilibrium, steady-state plasmas

Sergio Davis, Gonzalo Avaria, Biswajit Bora +4

Kappa-distributed velocities in plasmas are common in a wide variety of settings, from low-density to high-density plasmas. To date, they have been found mainly in space plasmas, b…

Computational Statistical Mechanics of a confined, three-dimensional Coulomb gas

Sergio Davis, Jalaj Jain, Biswajit Bora

The thermodynamic properties of systems with long-range interactions is still an ongoing challenge, both from the point of view of theory as well as computer simulation. In this wo…

Single-particle velocity distributions of collisionless, steady-state plasmas must follow Superstatistics

Sergio Davis, Gonzalo Avaria, Biswajit Bora +4

The correct modelling of velocity distribution functions for particles in steady-state plasmas is a central element in the study of nuclear fusion and also in the description of sp…
