Abstract: We consider the one dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with initial product distribution with densities $0leqh{o}_0<h{o}_1<\mathrm{...}<h{o}_{n}leq1$ in $(-infty,c_{1}v{e}^{-1})$, $[c_{1}v{e}^{-1},c_{2}epsilo{n}^{-1}),\mathrm{...},[c_{n}v{e}^{-1},+infty)$, respectively. The initial distribution has shocks (discontinuities) at $epsilo{n}^{-1}{c}_k$, k=1,...,n and we assume that in the corresponding macroscopic Burgers equation the n shocks meet in $r^{*}$ at time $t^{*}$. The microscopic position of the shocks is represented by second class particles whose distribution in the scale $epsilo{n}^{-1/2}$ is shown to converge to a function of n independent Gaussian random variables representing the fluctuations of these particles ``just before the meeting. We show that the density field at time $v{e}^{-1}{t}^{*}$, in the scale $v{e}^{-1/2}$ and as seen from $v{e}^{-1}{r}^{*}$ converges weakly to a random measure with piecewise constant density as $veo0$; the points of discontinuity depend on these limiting Gaussian variables. As a corollary we show that, as $epsilono0$, the distribution of the process at site $epsilo{n}^{-1}{r}^{*}+v{e}^{-1/2}a$ at time $epsilo{n}^{-1}{t}^{*}$ tends to a non trivial convex combination of the product measures with densities $h{o}_k$, the weights of the combination being explicitly computable.
