Trapping of active Brownian and run-and-tumble particles: A first-passage time approach

We use a first-passage time approach to study the statistics of the trapping times induced by persistent motion of active particles colliding with flat boundaries. The angular first-passage time distribution and mean first-passage time are calculated exactly for active Brownian and run-and-tumble pa...
