Fluctuation theorem applied to the Nos\'e-Hoover thermostated Lorentz gas

Statistical Mechanics 2009-08-29 v1

Abstract

We present numerical evidence supporting the validity of the Gallavotti-Cohen Fluctuation Theorem applied to the driven Lorentz gas with Nos\'e-Hoover thermostating. It is moreover argued that the asymptotic form of the fluctuation formula is independent of the amplitude of the driving force, in the limit where it is small.
