Abstract
We have studied the zero-temperature statistics of charge transfer between the two edges of Quantum Hall liquids with filling factors forming Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The known Bethe ansatz solution for symmetric interferometer is used to obtain the cumulant-generating function of charge at constant voltage between the edges. Its low- behavior can be interpreted in terms of electron tunneling, while its large- asymptotics reproduces the -state dynamics () of quasiparticles with fractional (for ) charge and statistics. We also analyze the transition region between electrons and quasiparticles.
