| Fermi accelerations | Physics | The resultant accelerations of a particle which undergoes a multi-collisional process. Based on a model developed by Enrico Fermi, it is found that a particle which has a head-on collision is accelerated (the "first-order" process) and that a particle decelerates from a receding collision (the "second-order" process).
