Counting statistics in finite Fermi systems: Illustrations with the atomic nucleus
Abstract
Here, we analyze here in details the probability to find a given number of particles in a finite volume inside a normal or super-fluid finite system. This probability, also known as counting statistics, is obtained using projection operator techniques directly linked to the characteristic function of the probability distribution. The method is illustrated in atomic nuclei. The nature of the particle number fluctuations from small to large volumes compared to the system size is carefully analyzed in three cases: normal systems, super-fluid systems and super fluid systems with total number restoration. The transition from Poissonian distribution in the small volume limit to Gaussian fluctuations as the number of particles participating to the fluctuations increases is analyzed both in the interior and at the surface of the system. Lastly, while the restoration of the total number of particles is not necessary for small volume, we show that it affects the counting statistics as soon as more than a very few particles are involved.
