relaxation: In a real system, each particle has a birth date (eg , the formation of a star from a condensing gas cloud), at which time it enters an initial orbit As the system ages, particles are perturbed from their initial orbits both by the slowly changing global potential, and by collisions The process acting on individual particles is similar to a random walk; the cumulative effect on the system is called relaxation A system is relaxed when no information remains about the initial orbits of most particles More formally, if we look at the collisions experienced by a single particle and is the deflection in radians caused by each collision c, then if most particles satisfy then the system is relaxed Similar arguments can be made for the relative change in orbital energy or orbital angular momentum per collision A slightly more detailed analysis [9, chapter 4,] shows that the relaxation time is about crossing times
