Transition-Event Durations in One Dimensional Activated Processes

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

Despite their importance in activated processes, transition-event durations -- which are much shorter than first passage times -- have not received a complete theoretical treatment. We therefore study the distribution of durations of transition events over a barrier in a one-dimensional system undergoing over-damped Langevin dynamics.
