Non-thermal particle acceleration and power-law tails via relaxation to universal Lynden-Bell equilibria
Collisionless and weakly collisional plasmas often exhibit non-thermal quasi-equilibria. Among these quasi-equilibria, distributions with power-law tails are ubiquitous. It is shown that the statistical-mechanical approach originally suggested by Lynden-Bell (Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc., vol. 136, 196...
