S-matrix formulation of thermodynamics with N-body scatterings
Abstract We apply a phase space expansion scheme to incorporate the N-body scattering processes in the S-matrix formulation of statistical mechanics. A generalized phase shift function suitable for studying the thermal contribution of $$N \rightarrow N$$ N → N processes is motivated and examined in...
