Abstract

We study the A + B → 0 annihilation reaction via multipolar interactions w∼r−s (r distance) in one and two dimensions. For equal numbers of immobile A and B particles we present computer simulations and numerical calculations of the decay. We find at large times that ind dimensions the particle concentration follows n∼t−d/(2s−d)
