Research at Princeton University in the early 1960s posed the question of whether the Maxwell Boltzmann statistics and other thermodynamic laws could be derived from equilibrium velocity distribution given several arbitrary initial conditions of the ideal gas.

These additional conserved quantities introduce minor artifacts related to the statistical mechanical definition of temperature, the departure of the velocity distributions from a Boltzmann distribution, and violations of equipartition for systems containing particles with heterogeneous masses.
33.
It is not necessarily the case that the particles that escape and are measured have the same velocity distribution as the particles that remain in the bulk of the system, but sometimes a good sample is possible.
34.
Second, in order to account the diffraction pattern associated with the crystalline structures, it was necessary to accept the existence of a "'strong anisotropy in the velocity distribution of atomic electrons " '.
35.
In the case of the "'two stream instability "', when an electron stream is injected to the plasma, the particles'velocity distribution function has a " bump " on its " tail ".
36.
Collisions establish a Maxwell Boltzmann distribution of velocities, and the'temperature'normally used to describe interstellar gas is the'kinetic temperature', which describes the temperature at which the particles would have the observed Maxwell Boltzmann velocity distribution in thermodynamic equilibrium.

:: Even though we haven't had any large impactors here on Earth very recently-my " gut feel " wonders whether it might be the case that the velocity of the debris will follow some kind of ( gaussian ? ) velocity distribution?
38.
Where v _ { i } is the maximum velocity class that will be slowed; all the atoms in the velocity distribution that have velocities v will be slowed, and those with velocities v > v _ { i } will not be slowed at all.
39.
The assumption concerning the continuous velocity distribution of atomic electrons may be accounted for on the basis of classical mechanics only by the fact that the moving electron exists both beyond and in the immediate vicinity of the attracting center represented by the nucleus talk ) 18 : 47, 28 August 2016 ( UTC)

It is important to note that the He nozzle beam source used in many He scattering experiments poses some risk of error, as it adds components to the velocity distributions that can mimic phonon peaks; particularly in time-of-flight measurements, these peaks can look very much like inelastic phonon peaks.
