Abstract: Following a recent work by Robnik and Romanovski (J.Phys.A: Math.Gen. {�f 39} (2006) L35, Open Syst. & Infor. Dyn. {�f 13} (2006) 197-222) we derive the explicit formula for the universal distribution function of the final energies in a time-dependent 1D harmonic oscillator, whose functional form does not depend on the details of the frequency omega(t), and is closely related to the conservation of the adiabatic invariant. The normalized distribution function is P(x)=pi1(2mu2x2)1/2, where , E1 is the final energy, is its average value, and mu2 is the variance of E1. and mu2 can be calculated exactly using the WKB approach to all orders.
