This distribution is called a Poissonian. Fig. 4.3 shows how the proba-bihty distributions Pn x), n = 2,3,... tend to Poo x) in the limit n —> 00. The Poissonian distribution is peaked and finite at a = 0. This means that the Xj values in the unit interval have a tendency to cluster. Thus, if the spacing statistics of a sequence of energy levels is Poissonian, the spectrum is characterized by level clustering. 

The cluster surfaces act as a source of particles for the tissue during heating and these particles are distributed into the spectmm of energy levels. There is thus a quasi-equilibrium between particles on the surface and particles in the spectmm of energy levels.
