Revisiting relaxation in globular clusters
The classical theory of cluster relaxation is unsatisfactory because it involves the Coulomb logarithm. The Balescu–Lenard (BL) equation provides a rigorous alternative that has no ill-defined parameter. Moreover, the BL equation, unlike classical theory, includes the cluster’s self-gravity. A heuri...
