Abstract
We study a very simple model for the cage effect for a chemical reacti on in a solvent. The effect of the solvent is represented by two fluct uating barriers together with a standard diffusion and deexcitation pr ocess. We prove the existence of a resonant effect for the overall rat e constant.
