Abstract

Through a very simple treatment we have constructed a lower bound for the statistical fluctuations of the survival probability of particles moving diffusively in a medium with random traps. We show that in the asymptotic regime the total survival probability is a non-self averaging quantity, in that the fluctuations dominate the mean value.
