Abstract
We present a theoretical framework which is generally applicable to the study of time scales of activated processes in systems with Brownian type dynamics. This framework is applied to a prototype system: magnetization reversal times in the 2D Ising model. Direct simulation results for the magnetization reversal times, spanning more than five orders of magnitude, are compared with theoretical predictions; the two agree in most cases within 20%.
