Abstract: | We compute analytically the probability distribution function
( ) of the dissipation field =(![nabla](/content/pl3524270l576720/xxlarge8711.gif) )2 of a passive scalar advected by a d-dimensional random flow, in the limit of large Peclet and Prandtl numbers (Batchelor–Kraichnan regime). The tail of the distribution is a stretched exponential: for ![epsi](/content/pl3524270l576720/xxlarge949.gif) ![rarr](/content/pl3524270l576720/xxlarge8594.gif) , ln
