tokens: We are grateful to our colleague P. Briand from the laboratory of mathematics LAMA of Université de Savoie Mont-Blanc for his kind help and for having provided us with a proof of the generalized central limit theorem. We also thank P. Mertsch who contributed by drawing our attention to the role of stable laws in cosmic ray physics.
