Abstract
We study the properties of the reaction front formed in a reversible r eaction-diffusion process, [GRAPHICS] with initially separated reagent s. It is shown that the dynamics of the front can be described in term s of a crossover between ''irreversible'' scaling at short times (t << g-1) and ''reversible'' scaling at long times (t >> g-1). The reversi ble regime is dominated by diffusion and the critical exponents charac terizing the properties of the front are independent of dimension.
