Fluctuation theorem for entropy production during effusion of a relativistic ideal gas (2008)

Abstract
The probability distribution of the entropy production for the effusion of a relativistic ideal gas is calculated explicitly. This result is then extended to include particle and antiparticle pair production and annihilation. In both cases, the fluctuation theorem is verified.
