Non-Gaussian particle number fluctuations in vicinity of the critical point for van der Waals equation of state

Non-Gaussian particle number fluctuations in vicinity of the critical point for van der Waals equation of state

The non-Gaussian measures of the particle number fluctuations -- skewness $S\sigma$ and kurtosis $\kappa \sigma^2$ -- are calculated in a vicinity of the critical point. This point corresponds to the end point of the first-order liquid-gas phase transition. The gaseous phase is characterized by the positive values of skewness while …
