Graviton particle statistics and coherent states from classical scattering amplitudes

Abstract In the two-body scattering problem in general relativity, we study the final graviton particle distribution using a perturbative approach. We compute the mean, the variance and the factorial moments of the distribution from the expectation value of the graviton number operator in the KMOC f...
