| Zusammenfassung: | A nonlinear diffusion equation is proposed to account for thermalization in fermionic and bosonic systems through analytical solutions. For constant transport coefficients, exact time-dependent solutions are derived through nonlinear transformations, and the corresponding local equilibration times are deduced. Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions emerge as stationary solutions of the nonlinear equation. As examples, local thermalization of quarks and gluons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and of ultracold atoms including time-dependent Bose-Einstein condensate formation are discussed. |
