Abstract
Strong and weak collisions. The Weisskopf radius. Strict resonance, V—T-relaxation, V#X2014;V-exchange, V—V’-exchange. Collisional dynamics of the single-particle density matrix. Weak collisions of simple oscillators, the Boltzmann distribution. Strong collisions, τ-approximation. Weak collisions of anharmonic oscillators, the Rich-Treanor and Gordiez-Osipov-Shelepin distributions.
