... A beam of protons is moving along an accelerator pipe in the z-direction. The particles are uniformly distributed in a cylindrical volume of length L0 (in the z direction) and radius R0 . The particles have momenta uniformly distributed with pz in an interval p0 ± pz and the transverse (along x-y) m ...

... would not be available for use in Ch. 3 if we were covering the chapters in numerical order. So there should be a way to solve this problem using only information covered in Ch. 3. This is called "making an easy problem into a difficult one." The Ch. 3 method is to find the value of NS (or NL ) that m ...

Grand canonical ensemble

In statistical mechanics, a grand canonical ensemble is the statistical ensemble that is used to represent the possible states of a mechanical system of particles that is being maintained in thermodynamic equilibrium (thermal and chemical) with a reservoir. The system is said to be open in the sense that the system can exchange energy and particles with a reservoir, so that various possible states of the system can differ in both their total energy and total number of particles. The system's volume, shape, and other external coordinates are kept the same in all possible states of the system.The thermodynamic variables of the grand canonical ensemble are chemical potential (symbol: µ) and absolute temperature (symbol: T). The ensemble is also dependent on mechanical variables such as volume (symbol: V) which influence the nature of the system's internal states. This ensemble is therefore sometimes called the µVT ensemble, as each of these three quantities are constants of the ensemble.
