Collisional energy transfer with statistical energy exchange: an analytical solution in the statistical limit

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Collisional energy transfer between highly vibrationally excited molecules and bath gas is considered with a statistical kernel, describing energy exchange in complex-forming collisions. Knowledge of the bilinear formula for the Laguerre polynomials offers a means for determining eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the kernel. An exact solution to master equation for the conditional probability is given as an expansion in terms of these eigenfunctions. The bulk averages of internal energy moments and energy transfer moments are calculated analytically.
