Abstract

The evolution of the energy distribution was studied for a stadium with moving balls. A one period driving cycle was considered, which was characterized by an amplitude A and a wall velocity V. The spreading mechanism was dominated by transitions between neighboring levels for an extremely slow wall velocity V, while for larger velocities, the spreading mechanism had both perturbative and nonperturbative features.
