Abstract
The spontaneous emission rate \Gamma of a two-level atom inside a chaotic cavity fluctuates strongly from one point to another because of fluctuations in the local density of modes. For a cavity with perfectly conducting walls and an opening containing N wavechannels, the distribution of \Gamma is given by P(\Gamma) \propto \Gamma^{N/2-1}(\Gamma+\Gamma_0)^{-N-1}, where \Gamma_0 is the free-space rate. For small N the most probable value of \Gamma is much smaller than the mean value \Gamma_0.
