We study the dynamics of a tracer particle (TP) on a comb lattice populated by randomly moving hard-core particles in the dense limit. We first consider the case where the TP is constrained to move on the backbone of the comb only, and, in…

We present results on tagged particle diffusion in a meso-scale lattice model for sheared amorphous material in athermal quasi-static conditions. We find a short time diffusive regime and a long time diffusive regime whose diffusion…
