Active Brownian particles (ABPs) and Run-and-Tumble particles (RTPs) both self-propel at fixed speed $v$ along a body-axis ${\bf u}$ that reorients either through slow angular diffusion (ABPs) or sudden complete randomisation (RTPs). We…

We investigate the run and tumble particle (RTP), also known as persistent Brownian motion, in one dimension. A telegraphic noise $\sigma(t)$ drives the particle which changes between $\pm 1$ values with some rates. Denoting the rate of…
