We complement and extend our work on fluctuation relations arising in nonequilibrium systems in steady states driven by L\'evy noise [Phys. Rev. E 76, 020101(R) (2006)]. As a concrete example, we consider a particle subjected to a drag…
The evolution of the system created in a high energy nuclear collision is very sensitive to the fluctuations in the initial geometry of the system. In this letter we show how one can utilize these large fluctuations to select events…

In the study of femtoscopic correlations in high-energy physics, besides Bose--Einstein correlations, one has to take final-state interactions into account. Amongst them, Coulomb interactions play a prominent role in the case of charged…
