Abstract

Recent theoretical studies of simple chemical schemes suggest that external noise can deeply modify the macroscopic behaviour of the system [1]. Details of this analysis can be found in the contribution of R. LEFEVER-W. HORSTHEMKE in this issue. With the exception of analogical electrical circuit simulations done by KABASHIMA et al. [2] no experimental test of these theoretical results has been carried out. In the following we will report experimental results obtained in the BRIGGS-RAUSCHER (B.R.) [3] oscillating chemical reaction which agree with the theoretical predictions.
