Abstract
The distribution of the excitations caused by the pump laser pulse in the domains of light‐harvesting antenna is shown to be the hypergeometrical one. The experimental curves of the photo‐oxidation of reaction centers versus the light intensity of pico‐second pulses measured for two distinct samples with monocentral antenna domains are in excellent agreement with the statistical distribution predicted.Keywords
