Criticality and strong intermittency in the lorentz channel (2012)
Journal Article

We demonstrate the emergence of criticality due to power-law cross correlations in an ensemble of noninteracting particles propagating in an infinite Lorentz channel. The origin of these interparticle long-range correlations is the intermittent dynam... Read More about Criticality and strong intermittency in the lorentz channel.
