Had a bay completely to myself, but the guys one bay over must’ve been shooting .50 BMG because it almost knocked my teeth loose all the way over the berm.

Really fun day, except for a lot of wind. Ran some Fenex 380 & was really impressed (but it’s not target ammo). A little bit of everything, a lot of 22.

I was guessing you’d disarm them on the basis of pure charm and force of personality. Well. That and maybe your Carl Gustaf 8.4 cm recoilless rifle. Goin’ off all Well-Regulated and all that other milkshake stuff that brings the Regiment to your yard. 🤭😉

If you want, I’ll hold your beer while you go pick a fight with any battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment. I dare you. In fact, Stacy, I Double-Dog Dare you. 🤭🏴‍☠️

One part of it turns out to be fairly easy — the density of states calculation — but the result is a little unusual. It’s an artifact of choosing the 2-dimensional case, which is actually not that strange or artificial.

Pulled it to read on a big screen. Abstract is intriguing enough. If you scroll through it and just look at the “machinery” in the paper, it’s absolutely a story about diffusion 😹

I managed to pull it up unpaywalled & read a few paragraphs before it locked me out. Liked the “funnel” intro where we learn of a former physicist turned successful theater director. As a Song & Dance man, I know the theater is a hard dollar act.

5/5 (N=5)
F. Finally, what should the result for N look like for lambda-->1? (Note that lambda is a direct measure of degeneracy, and these are bosons.)

4/N
E. Hints:
In getting to the result for part "C", the number of particles, you will need to convert a sum to an integral. The integral cannot be evaluated analytically, but a power series expansion can be used.

It is helpful to set the ground state energy to E(0)=0.

3/N
D. It is useful in part "C" to define lambda=exp(u/kT).
From your result for N, examine what happens for lambda=1. Interpret the result on physical grounds.

2/N B. Comment on any unusual features of the DOS result from part (A). C. For a Grand Canonical Ensemble {u,V,T} of bosons in 2D, calculate the number of particles (N) in the ensemble.
Note: "u" is the chemical potential.

As promised/threatened 🤭...here's your Eyring Problem (broken down into sections):

A. For a 2D particle-in-a-box (infinite square well), find the density of states (DOS). For convenience, you may choose a square area L(x)=L(y).

@trs90.bsky.social
I posted a Henry Eyring exam problem on The Other Site and, for good or ill, nobody tried it. Got some cognitive dissonance basically unrelated to the problem, but otherwise Not Much.
Eyring is probably rolling in the grave. 🤭🏴‍☠️
