Abstract
Time-dependent correlations in the scaling state of an evolving two-dimensional soap froth are studied. In particular, we consider the topological distribution function of those cells that are destined to survive for long times. Experimental results are compared with mean-field based dynamic equations and with topological simulations.Keywords
