Abstract
Probability distributions for Fourier components of the electric field, including joint distributions for various Fourier components and multiple time distributions for the same component, are determined using the central limit theorem of probability theory and two assumptions within the spirit of weak turbulence theory. The distributions are all Gaussians or simple integrals of Gaussians. This statistical framework is applied to the special case where the turbulence is dominated by the wave-particle interaction. In this case, quantities appearing in the distributions as parameters, such as the mean and standard deviation, are determined by quasilinear theory and Dupree's recent theory of phase space granulation, or clumps.
