Photo-induced kinetic effects in a gas
We examine a one-component gas in resonant interaction with an electromagnetic wave, taking into account the change in the collision cross section of the particles when one of them is excited. We show that a gas can be cooled by light-stimulated energy exchange between the gas and a thermostat. We also predict that a hydrodynamic gas flow will be established under the action of the radiation.
