We consider thermal and Plummer equilibria, with and without collective effects. All combinations are found to be in clear agreement with respect to the Balescu-Lenard and Landau predictions for the diffusion coefficients. Interestingly, collective effects reduce the diffusion by a factor ${\\sim 10}$. The predicted flux for Plummer equilibrium matches the measured one, which is a remarkable validation of kinetic theory. We also report on a situation of quasi kinetic blocking for the same equilibrium.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-06T13:56:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long-term relaxation", "self-gravitating systems", "kinetic theory", "plummer equilibrium matches", "body simulations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
