It follows from this relationship that the eigenvalues of SS+ for a weakly absorbing chaotic cavity are distributed according to a generalized Laguerre ensemble.4 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Physica E (special issue on Dynamics of Complex Systems)Disordered Systems and Neural NetworksMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsDistribution of the reflection eigenvalues of a weakly absorbing chaotic cavitytext
