Graviton particle statistics and coherent states from classical scattering amplitudes
Graviton particle statistics and coherent states from classical scattering amplitudes
A bstract In the two-body scattering problem in general relativity, we study the final graviton particle distribution using a perturbative approach. We compute the mean, the variance and the factorial moments of the distribution from the expectation value of the graviton number operator in the KMOC formalism. For minimally coupled …
