Non-relativistic versus relativistic low-speed momentum diffusion

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperOther

Abstract

Non-relativistic and special-relativistic predictions for low-speed momentum diffusion, which are calculated using the same parameter and the same initially localized Gaussian ensemble of trajectories, are compared for a prototypical Hamiltonian system-the periodically-delta-kicked particle. Contrary to expectation, we show that the agreement between the two predictions can break down after some time.
