Théorique, numérique Description
Long-range interacting N-body systems (e.g., plasmas or stellar clusters) relax through finite-N effects, as described by the Balescu--Lenard kinetic equation. Yet, this equation diverges when the system approaches an instability. The focus of this internship is to generalise this kinetic equation to appropriately cure this divergence at marginal stability.
