Abstract

In this paper we consider a chemical process, for which the reagent of interest decays shortly after it is created. For such a system the standard theory of nonequilibrium spatial correlations in the density fluctuations, which leads to Ornstein–Zernike type of expression, does not work. We compare results of molecular simulations with another theoretical description based on the assumption that the lifetime of the reagent is short enough to treat its motion as a ballistic rather than diffusive one.
