Abstract
We consider fluctuations in both the shattering and normal (nonshattering) fragmentation processes. The continuum shattering process is shown to lack the self-averaging property: the rms fluctuation in the total number of the finite-size fragements is larger than the mean value. The discrete shattering process exhibits strong fluctuations at the intermediate times when the total number of fragments is much greater than 1 but smaller than the number of the monomers contained in the primary particle. For the normal process, the fluctuations are small and self-averaging exists.
