Infinite average lifetime of an unstable bright state in the green fluorescent protein
P. Didier, L. Guidoni, F. Bardou
The time evolution of the fluorescence intensity emitted by well-defined ensembles of Green Fluorescent Proteins has been studied by using a standard confocal microscope. In contra…
From laser cooling to aging: a unified Levy flight description
Eric Bertin, Francois Bardou
Intriguing phenomena such as subrecoil laser cooling of atoms, or aging phenomenon in glasses, have in common that the systems considered do not reach a steady-state during the exp…
Broad distribution effects in sums of lognormal random variables
M. Romeo, V. Da Costa, F. Bardou
The lognormal distribution describing, e.g., exponentials of Gaussian random variables is one of the most common statistical distributions in physics. It can exhibit features of br…
Cooling gases with Levy flights: using the generalized central limit theorem in physics
F. Bardou
In the last ten years, the generalized central limit theorem established by Paul Levy in the thirties has been found more and more relevant in physics. Physicists call 'Levy flight…
