Abstract
We investigate the diffusion behavior of a right triangular billiard system by transforming its dynamics to a two-dimensional piecewise map. We find that the diffusion in the momentum space is ultraslow, i.e., the mean squared displacement grows asymptotically as the square of the logarithm of time. The mechanism of the ultraslow diffusion behavior is explained and numerical evidence corroborating our conclusion is provided. The weak ergodicity breaking of the system is also discussed.
