Question

The system above has two distinguishable particles, each can be in either of two boxes. The system is in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath at temperature, T. The energy of the particle is zero when it's in the left box, and it is \alpha when it is in the right box. There is a correlation energy term that increases the system energy by \delta if the particles are in the same box.

If the particles are indistinguishable how many microstates will there be and what are their corresponding probability? Determine the partition function and determine the system's average energy.
