This paper is concerned with the mathematical properties of the random field of force Fp( T ) acting on a single line element of a fluxline due to a statistical distribution of the defects. With the assumption of a linear interaction between fluxlines and defects it follows from the central limit theorem that F p ( r ) corresponds t o a Gaussian distribution. I n this case the complete statistical information on F p ( r ) is contained in the correlation matrix B(a), from which we obtain the wavelength, the mean amplitude, and the anisotropy of the random field F p ( r ) . These quantities are determined for edge dislocations parallel to the fluxlines. The dislocation-fluxline interaction used is the socalled volume effect. For sufficiently high dislocation densities (e 2 l/p) the wavelength l p is shown to be independent of e (Zp e 2n l), while the mean amplitude (dispersion) is proportional to 15.
