Particle number fluctuations and their relation to geometrical probability
Fluctuations in the number of particles N within a small subvolume of a system of classical non-interacting particles undergoing free flight, diffusion or Brownian motion are studied. Emphasis is on the temporal correlations and the subvolume geometry. Smoluchowski's method of probability afte...
