A system of particles hopping on a line, singly or as merged pairs, and annihilating in groups of three on encounters, is solved exactly for certain symmetrical initial conditions. The functional form of the density is nearly identical to…
We solve an one-dimensional stochastic model of interacting particles on a chain. Particles can have branching and coagulation reactions, they can also appear on an empty site and disappear spontaneously. This model which can be viewed as…
We consider an interacting particle system where equal-sized populations of two types of particles move by random walk steps on a graph, the two types may have different speeds, and meetings of opposite-type particles result in…
We present a general classification of simplified models that lead to dark matter (DM) coannihilation processes of the form DM + X $\rightarrow$ SM$_1$ + SM$_2$, where X is a coannihilation partner for the DM particle and SM$_1$, SM$_2$ are…
We present results of computer simulations of the diffusion-limited reaction process A+B->0, on the line, under extreme drift conditions, for lattices of up to 2^{27} sites, and where the process proceeds to completion (no particles left).…
We consider a system of annihilating particles where particles start from the points of a Poisson process on the line, move at constant i.i.d. speeds symmetrically distributed in {-1,0,+1} and annihilate upon collision. We prove that…
We analyze the annihilation of equally-charged particles based on the Brownian motion model built by F. Dyson for $N$ particles with charge $q$ interacting via the log-Coulomb potential on the unitary circle at a reduced inverse temperature…
Chemical reactions often proceed through the formation and the consumption of intermediate species. An example is the creation and subsequent degradation of the substrate-enzyme complexes in an enzymatic reaction. In this paper we provide a…
A two species reaction-diffusion model, in which particles diffuse on a one-dimensional lattice and annihilate when meeting each other, has been investigated. Mean field equations for general choice of reaction rates have been solved…

Arguments are presented for the expected behaviour of $\piNpiN$ scattering and the $\pbarppipi$ reaction at high energy and large scattering angles. % The annihilation reaction has close to maximal asymmetry ($\approx$ 1) for $p_{lab} \siml…
Diffusion-limited reaction A+A->inert with anisotropic hopping on the d=1 lattice, is solved exactly for a simultaneous updating, discrete time-step dynamics. Diffusion-dominated processes slow down as the anisotropy increases. For large…

Phase transitions of the 2A-> 3A, 4A->0 reaction-diffusion model is explored by dynamical, N-cluster approximations and by simulations.The model exhibits site occupation restriction and explicit diffusion of isolated particles. While the…
An extensively studied mechanism to create particle-antiparticle asymmetries is the out-of-equilibrium and CP violating decay of a heavy particle. Here we instead examine how asymmetries can arise purely from 2 <-> 2 annihilations rather…
Assisted annihilation is a novel mechanism to generate viable sub-GeV thermal dark matter, where a pair of stable dark matter annihilates with an assister to Standard Model states. Typically such $3 \to 2$ annihilation topologies are flux…
We consider a one-dimensional model consisting of an assembly of two-velocity particles moving freely between collisions. When two particles meet, they instantaneously annihilate each other and disappear from the system. Moreover each…
The steady-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2A -> 3A, 2A -> 0 is studied through the non-hermitian density matrix renormalization group. In the absence of single-particle diffusion the model reduces to the…
We study an infinite system of moving particles, where each particle is of type A or B. Particles perform independent random walks at rates D_A>0 and D_B>0, and the interaction is given by mutual annihilation A+B->0. The initial condition…
