Escape problem for active particles confined to a disk

We study the escape problem for interacting, self-propelled particles confined to a disk, where particles can exit through one open slot on the circumference. Within a minimal two-dimensional Vicsek model, we numerically study the statistics of escape events when the self-propelled particles can be...
