Mechanical analysis of a dynamical phase transition for particles in a channel
We analyze biased ensembles of trajectories for a two-dimensional system of particles, evolving by Langevin dynamics in a channel geometry. This bias controls the degree of particle clustering. On biasing to large clustering, we observe a dynamical phase transition where the particles break symmetry...
