Abstract

We derive the joint distribution of the moments TrQκ\mathrm{Tr}\, Q^{\kappa} (κ0\kappa\geq0) of the Wigner-Smith matrix for a chaotic cavity supporting a large number of scattering channels nn. This distribution turns out to be asymptotically Gaussian, and we compute explicitly averages and covariances. The results are in a compact form and have been verified numerically. The general methodology of proof and computations has a wide range of applications.
