Simulations of Multi-Component Relativistic Thermalization [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2004.13186


We report on the development and application of a multi dimensional relativistic Monte-Carlo code to explore the thermalization process in a relativistic multi-component environment. As an illustration we simulate the fully relativistic three dimensional Brownian-motion-like solution to the thermalization of a high mass particle in a bath of relativistic low-mass particles. We follow the thermalization and ultimate equilibrium distribution of the Brownian-like particle as can happen in the cosmic plasma during Big bang nucleosynthesis.
