Show affiliationsAccording to a conjecture of Yukawa the parametric motion of the eigenvalues of a chaotic system leads to a phase-space distribution proportional to
where E is the energy of the eigenvalue gas and
is its reciprocal temperature. To test the conjecture, in a first-step correspondence between the well known Pechukas - Yukawa level dynamics and that of a billiard with variable length is established. Next,
is expressed in terms of the billiard geometry thus fixing the only free parameter of the model. Finally, experimental distributions of eigenvalue velocities, curvatures etc, obtained from Sinai microwave billiards are analysed in terms of the model. In all cases a quantitative agreement was found, apart from some small deviations caused by the dominating bouncing-ball orbit.
