2 unusual facts about transport theory


Transport theory

Light transport theory, deals with the mathematics behind calculating the energy transfers between media that affect visibility

Linear transport theory, the study of equations describing the migration of particles or energy within a host medium when such migration involves random absorption, emission and scattering events


Hans-Arwed Weidenmüller

He examined nuclear reactions in the shell model under inclusion of continuum states and developed a microscopic statistical theory of nuclear reactions; this statistical theory (now known as transport theory) had applications to the interpretation of the particle accelerator experiments with heavy ions as well as on highly excited compound nuclei.
