Thermalisation
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In physics, thermalisation (in American English thermalization) is the process of particles reaching thermal equilibrium through mutual interaction.
Examples of thermalisation include:
- the achievement of equilibrium in a plasma
- the process undergone by high-energy neutrons as they lose energy by collision.
- and many other physical processes
