The elapsed-time transition distribution of a driftless square-root diffusion starting at is the compound Poisson distribution
where all variables on the right are independent and the empty sum is zero. Here the exponential distribution parameter is its rate. The Laplace transform of this sum is
which is the Laplace transform of the driftless square-root diffusion; uniqueness of the Laplace transform proves the distributional identity. In particular, for , the exponential moment is
For this exponential moment is infinite when , since the event has positive probability and one exponential jump already has an infinite moment there. At the process remains zero and every such moment is one.
