A Fluctuation Theorem (FT), both Classical and Quantum, describes the large-deviations in the approach to equilibrium of an isolated quasi-integrable system. Two characteristics make it unusual: (i) it concerns the internal dynamics of an…
We consider the computation of D and B fragmentation functions in e+e- annihilation. We compare the results of fitting present data using the next-to-leading-logarithmic resummed approach, versus the O(alpha_s^2) fixed-order calculation,…
For the first time, we calculate the heating rate, attractive conservative and tangential dissipative fluctuation electromagnetic forces felt by a thick plate moving parallel to a closely spaced another plate in rest using the retarded…
Clear evidence for a positive correlation is established between the magnitude of magnetic fluctuations in the lower-hybrid frequency range and enhancement of reconnection rates in a well-controlled laboratory plasma. The fluctuations…
It was shown that at typical energies and luminosities of an $e^+e^-$ linear collider one can observe a significant suppression of fluctuations of the number of gluons in small angular regions. This property of jets is expected in $e^+e^-$…

The source of the fluctuations in the final state particles is the initial event-by-event fluctuation in energy density. Forward-Backward (F-B) correlation is one of the important probes to study such fluctuations. The results of F-B…

Fluctuation relations are powerful equalities that hold far from equilibrium. However, the standard approach to include measurement and feedback schemes may become inapplicable in certain situations, including continuous measurements,…
Over last decades, the study of laser fluctuations has shown that laser theory may be regarded as a prototypical example of a nonlinear nonequilibrium problem. The present paper discusses the fluctuation relations, recently derived in…
We perform numerical simulations of the sandpile model for non-vanishing driving fields $h$ and dissipation rates $\epsilon$. Unlike simulations performed in the slow driving limit, the unique time scale present in our system allows us to…
We present the first study of rapidity gaps in e+e- annihilations using Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. Our measured rapidity gap spectra fall exponentially with increasing gap size over five decades, and we observe no…

A fluctuation relation for aging systems is introduced, and verified by extensive numerical simulations. It is based on the hypothesis of partial equilibration over phase space regions in a scenario of entropy-driven relaxation. The…
