Abstract
We generalize the reaction diffusion approach in order to calculate the higher moments of the distribution of the population which characterize intermittency and can be derived by statistical analysis of single molecule experiments. We show the way the usual Poisson statistics is asymptotically approached with increasing barrier height for a reaction dependent on diffusing up an activation free energy barrier to a critical configuration.
