We consider a mixture of active and passive run-and-tumble disks in an inhomogeneous environment where only half of the sample contains quenched disorder or pinning. The disks are initialized in a fully mixed state of uniform density. We…

Active Brownian particles (ABPs) serve as a minimal model of active matter systems. When ABPs are sufficiently persistent, they undergo a liquid-gas phase separation and, in the presence of obstacles, accumulate around them, forming a…
