We explicitly determine the large deviation function of the energy flow of a Brownian particle coupled to two heat baths at different temperatures. This toy model, initially introduced by Derrida and Brunet (2005, Einstein aujourd’hui (Les Ulis: EDP Sciences)), not only allows us to sort out the influence of initial conditions on large deviation functions but also allows us to pinpoint various restrictions bearing upon the range of validity of the Fluctuation Relation.
