of large numbers of microscopic droplets to create every raindrop.
The onset of rain showers can be surprisingly rapid, much faster than the mean time
required for a single collision. Large-deviation theory is used to explain
this observation.
The presentation is based upon a recent paper: Phys. Rev. Lett., 116, 018501 (2016).
