SUMMARY:Rare events and phase transitions in reaction-diffusion system
 s\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Alex Kamenev\, University of
  Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:I shall discuss a way to evaluate tails of the probability
  distribution functions in stochastic reaction-diffusion systems. The 
 method is based on the semi-classical treatment of a proper ''quantum'
 ' field theory\, which may be associated with the reaction-diffusion m
 odels. The same set of ideas may be applied to a classification of non
 -equilibrium phase transitions\, taking place in these models.
