Thermal fields are examples of photon bunching. Their statistic can be observed as photons that arrive more simultaneously correlation and dependence positive correlation at detectors. This can disturb our understanding of classical Elementary particle particles , which tells us that non interacting particles should know nothing about each other, and so should arrive independently of one another. This apparent contradiction is explained by recognizing this not as a particle effect, but rather as a wave effect. Photon bunching is predicted by quantum mechanics , and manifests experimentally in the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect , which itself can be understood classically as a pure wave effect.

In statistics as applied in particular in particle physics , when fluctuation s of some observable s are measured, it is convenient to transform the multiplicity distribution to the bunching parameters math eta q frac q q 1 frac P q P q 2 P q 1 2 , math where math P n math is probability of observing math n math objects inside of some phase space regions. The bunching parameters measure deviations of the multiplicity distribution math P n math from a Poisson distribution , since for this distribution math eta q 1 math . Uncorrelated particle production leads to the Poisson distribution Poisson statistics , thus deviations of the bunching parameters from the Poisson values mean correlations between particles and dynamical fluctuations. Normalised factorial moment s have also similar properties. They are defined as math F q langle n rangle q sum infty n q frac n n q P n. math References reflist cite journal last Chekanov first S.V. last2 Kuvshinov first2 V.I. year 1994 title Bunching Parameter and Intermittency in High Energy Collisions url http th www.if.uj.edu.pl acta vol25 pdf v25p1189.pdf journal Acta Physica Polonica B volume 25 issue pages 1189 1197 doi id arxiv hep ph 9605379 cite journal last Chekanov first S.V. last2 Kittel first2 W. last3 Kuvshinov first3 V.I. year 1996 title Multifractal Multiplicity Distribution in Bunching Parameter Analysis journal Journal of Physics G volume 22 issue pages 601 610 doi 10.1088 0954 3899 22 5 007 id arxiv hep ph 9606202 cite journal last Chekanov first S.V. last2 Kuvshinov first2 V.I. year 1997 title Generalized Bunching Parameters and Multiplicity Fluctuations in Restricted Phase Space Bins journal Zeitschrift f r Physik C volume 74 issue pages 517 529 doi 10.1007 s002880050414 id arxiv hep ph 9606335 last3 Kuvshinov first3 V.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 File Southern Vectis 311 HW54 BUO and St Helens Station Road.JPG thumb UK Bus lay by A bus turnout , bus pullout , bus bay , bus lay by UK , or off line bus stop is a special zone on the side of the main roadway or bus tram lane for primarily bus es to stop for a designated bus stop in order to pick up and drop off passengers. The purpose of the bus turnout is avoid blocking a lane of traffic and to improve passenger safety during boarding and deboarding. Bus turnouts may also be the location of minor bus terminus bus termini , and may be extended to accommodate bus stand s. Bus turnouts are most often lacking in cities with little or no usable easement right of way for their construction. In younger cities, particularly in the United States , where there is sufficient right of way bus turnouts are installed on roads either as part of upgrading the road or installed by requirement of the local government during development of the lot. A disadvantage of bus turnouts is that buses must merge back into the flow of traffic after using the bus stop, which can cause delay to the bus. Although many jurisdictions worldwide have instituted yield to bus laws, motorist compliance with these laws is often non existent. In some jurisdictions, bus turnouts can be used as an emergency turnout for the general public to prevent blocking a lane of traffic. However, should a bus attempt to enter the turnout often those using the turnout must make way.

A bus stand is a designated parking location where a bus or coach vehicle coach waits out of service between scheduled public transport services. Bus stand is also often an alternative name for specific bus stop s inside a bus station . A bus stand is usually employed to allow a bus to layover at a bus terminus , without giving the appearance of being in service, or blocking the stop from use by other buses that are in service. Bus stands also allow short term parking for driver changes or driver breaks. In the simplest case, a bus turnout type of bus stop is extended, and buses can layover away from the stop if necessary. In locations where buses cannot remain stationary for long, nearby but separate bus stands may be provided where other bus garage bus parking is not conveniently located. Due to their public transport use, bus stands will often be specifically covered by local legislation. Parking of non public service vehicle PSV s in bus stands may be prohibited. For pollution concerns, drivers may be required to switch their engines off if in a bus stand, as opposed to when stopped in a bus stop. In public bus and coach stations, buses will oftend be marshalled into specific parking slots, which act as stands where buses queue for an available slot at a departure point, such as in Victoria Coach Station in London. At the appropriate time the bus can be moved the short distance to the stop, to begin boarding.
