✦ Synopsis

We study the barrier-crossing rate processes described by the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation in the small barrier regime. The spectral properties of the rate kernels are investigated through a projected BGK equation and the chemical relaxation and characteristic microscopic times are obtained.
