Fluctuation theorem applied to the Nosé-Hoover thermostated Lorentz gas

Abstract

We present numerical evidence supporting the validity of the Gallavotti-Cohen Fluctuation Theorem applied to the driven Lorentz gas with Nosé-Hoover thermostating. It is moreover argued that the asymptotic form of the fluctuation formula is independent of the amplitude of the driving force, in the limit where it is small.
