Modified Boltzmann approximation

Modified Boltzmann statistics is an approximation applicable to systems of identical and indistinguishable particles at a high temperature with many accessible microstates so that it is unlikely for any two particles to be in the same quantum state. The canonical partition function is given by

where is the canonical partition function given by Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, and

is the canonical partition function for a single particle.
