In this paper we study activity fluctuations in an asymmetric death-branching process in one-dimension. The model, which is a variant of the asymmetric Glauber model, has already been studied in [12]. It is known that in the low-activity…

The free energy profile of a reaction can be estimated in a molecular-dynamics approach by imposing a mechanical constraint along a reaction coordinate (RC). Many recent studies have shown that the temperature can greatly influence the path…
