Abstract
We analyze here in details the probability to find a given number of particles in a finite volume inside a normal or superfluid finite system. This probability, also known as counting statistics, is obtained using projection operator techniques directly linked to the characteristic function of the probability distribution. The method is illustrated in atomic nuclei. The nature of the particle number fluctuations from small to large volumes compared to the system size are carefully analyzed in three cases: normal systems, superfluid systems and superfluid systems with total particle number restoration. The transition from Poissonian distribution in the small volume limit to Gaussian fluctuations as the number of particles participating to the fluctuations increases, is analyzed both in the interior and at the surface of the system. While the restoration of total number of particles is not necessary for small volume, we show that it affects the counting statistics as soon as more than very few particles are involved.
