A simple method to obtain the leading order long time contribution to the logarithm of the characteristic function is presented which simplifies earlier approaches. New explicit results for the determinant involving the scattering matrices are found. The joint probability distribution for two leads is discussed for Y-junctions and dots connected to four leads.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-09T09:53:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "joint probability distribution", "full counting statistics", "noninteracting fermions", "leading order long time contribution", "simplifies earlier approaches" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0953-8984/21/47/474209", "journal": "Journal of Physics Condensed Matter", "year": 2009, "month": "Nov", "volume": 21, "number": 47, "pages": 474209 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009JPCM...21U4209I" } } }
