In the under-field of the Data-processing which is the algorithmic Théorie of information, the constant Oméga of Chaitin or the probability of stop is a Real number defined by Grégory Chaitin. This number describes the Probabilité that a Computer program generated by chance starting from a model of calculation or a Computer programming language given will stop.

When no particular code is specified, one speaks rather about construction of Chaitin.

Ω is a normal Nombre and a transcendent Nombre (neither a rational Nombre nor a algebraic Nombre) which is well definable but not calculable. This number belongs to the indénombrable unit noncalculable real numbers and of the countable unit of the definable real numbers.
