In the absence of directional motion it is often hard to recognize athermal fluctuations. Probability currents provide such a measure in terms of the rate at which they enclose area in the reduced phase space. We measure this area enclosing…

The theory of current transport in a narrow superconducting channel accounting for thermal fluctuations is revisited. The value of voltage appearing in the sample is found as the function of temperature (close to transition temperature…

We analyze the effect of different types of fluctuations in internal electron energy on the rates of dark and photon counts in straight current-carrying superconducting nanowires. Dark counts appear due to thermal fluctuations in…

Charge fluctuations observed in early fixed-target proton-proton experiments are consistent with string models. In central heavy ion events the picture can change in two ways: strings can interact and find new ways to hadronize or they can…
