Asymptotic behavior of A + B --> inert for particles with a drift

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the (one dimensional) two-species annihilation reaction A + B --> 0, where both species have a uniform drift in the same direction and like species have a hard core exclusion. Extensive numerical simulations show that starting with an initially random distribution of A's and B's at equal concentration the density decays like t^{-1/3} for long times. This process is thus in a different universality class from the cases without drift or with drift in different directions for the different species.
