Abstract: We study the tail of $p(U)$, the probability distribution of $U=vertpsi(0,L)ver{t}^2$, for $lnUgg1$, $psi(x,z)$ being the solution to $partia{l}_{z}psi-fraci2mabl{a}_{perp}^{2}psi=gvertSver{t}^2,psi$, where $S(x,z)$ is a complex Gaussian random field, $z$ and $x$ respectively are the axial and transverse coordinates, with $0lezleL$, and both $me0$ and $g>0$ are real parameters. We perform the first instanton analysis of the corresponding Martin-Siggia-Rose action, from which it is found that the realizations of $S$ concentrate onto long filamentary instantons, as $lnUo+infty$. The tail of $p(U)$ is deduced from the statistics of the instantons. The value of $g$ above which $langleUangle$ diverges coincides with the one obtained by the completely different approach developed in Mounaix et al. 2006 {it Commun. Math. Phys.} {�f 264}~741. Numerical simulations clearly show a statistical bias of $S$ towards the instanton for the largest sampled values of $lnU$. The high maxima -- or `hot spots' -- of $vertS(x,z)ver{t}^2$ for the biased realizations of $S$ tend to cluster in the instanton region.
