Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1063/1.5119554
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We present an explicit expression for the angular velocity of rotation of pairs of quasi-particles through the first few velocity moments of the distribution function. The expression is suitable for describing collisions of molecules near equilibrium. We also present the results of a test numerical simulation based on this approximation for the relaxation of the distribution functions to equilibrium and give a comparison with the existing exact results..
