We consider the one dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with initial product distribution with densities 0, respectively. The initial distribution has shocks (discontinuities) at ε −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 ε −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 ε −1 t * , in the scale ε −1/2 and as seen from ε −1 r * converges weakly to a random measure with piecewise constant density as ε → 0; the points of discontinuity depend on these limiting Gaussian variables. As a corollary we show that, as ε → 0, the distribution of the process at site ε −1 r * + ε −1/2 a at time ε −1 t * tends to a non trivial convex combination of the product measures with densities ρ k , the weights of the combination being explicitly computable.
