Kinetics of a Di usive Capture Process: Lamb Besieged by a Pride of Lions

The survival probability, S N (t), of a diiusing prey (\lamb") in the proximity of N diiusing predators (a \pride of lions") in one dimension is investigated. When the lions are all to one side of the lamb, the survival probability decays as a non-universal power law, S N (t) / t ? N , with the decay exponent N proportional to ln N. The crossover behavior as a function of the relative diiusivit...
