Abstract
Superradiance is a stochastic process which shows macroscopic shot to shot fluctuations in some of the properties of the emitted pulse. These fluctuations may have microscopic and quantum-mechanical origin. The aim of this paper is to discuss a simple and hopefully intriguing example of one of the approaches used to deal with the statistical properties of this process.
