I will discuss transport in the cross-over regime between 0 energy and finite energy for 1 dimensional systems in symmetry class BDI.  This regime is not described by the conventional (DMPK) approach, which captures only the system-size dependence of conductance, and cannot describe its energy dependence.  Numerically, we identify a 2-parameter scaling that captures the cross-over regime, and a family of distributions which appear to capture the full statistics of the conductance in the case of a single-channel wire.  I will describe numerical evidence that this scaling and family of distributions describe a number of different models in this symmetry class, including a 1-dimensional chain with hopping disorder, as well as arm-chair and zig-zag graphene nano ribbons.
