The fluctuation dynamics in steady-state fragmentation and aggregation
processes is analysed from a kinetic point of view. The fluctuations
in the number of particles of size between x and
, in a sample with average occupation number
, appear to behave like sums of uncorrelated events:
. The
implications of this fact for the applicability of a mean-field description,
and possible relation with intermittency phenomena in three-dimensional
turbulence are discussed.
