Abstract

We present Monte Carlo results for the two-species trapping reaction A+BBA+B \to B with diffusing AA and BB on lattices in one, two and three dimension. We use a novel algorithm which permits to simulate survival probabilities of AA partic les down to <1030<10^{-30} with high accuracy. The results for the survival probability agree much better with the exact asymptotic predictions of Bramson and Lebowitz (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 61}, 2397 (1988)) than with the heuristics of Kang and Redner (J. Phys. A {\bf 17}, L451 (1984)). But there are very large deviations from either which show that even these simulations are far from asymptotia. This is supported by the rms. displacement of AA particles which clearly show that the asymptotic regime has not been reached, at least for d=2d=2 and d=3d=3.
