Dust particles immersed in a plasma environment become charged through the collection of electrons and ions at random times, causing the dust charge to fluctuate about an equilibrium value. Small grains (with radii less than 1 \mum) or…

Often experimentalists study colloidal suspensions that are nominally monodisperse. In reality these samples have a polydispersity of 4-10%. At the level of an individual particle, the consequences of this polydispersity are unknown as it…
Comparing proposed quantities to analyze charged particle fluctuations in heavy ion experiments we find the dispersion of the charges in a central rapidity box as best suited. Various energies and different nuclear sizes were considered in…
