Collision statistics for random flights with anisotropic scattering and absorption

open access: yes, 2011
For a broad class of random walks with anisotropic scattering kernel and absorption, we derive explicit formulas that allow expressing the moments of the collision number $n_V$ performed in a volume $V$ as a function of the particle equilibrium ...
