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…
