Abstract
Diffusion in a one dimensional random force field leads to interesting localisation effects, which we study using the equivalence with a directed walk model with traps. We show that although the average dispersion of positions $\bar{< x^2 > - < x > ^2}$ diverges for long times, the probability that two particles occupy the same site tends to a finite constant in the small bias phase of the model. Interestingly, the long time properties of this off-equilibrium, aging phase is similar to the equilibrium phase of the Random Energy Model.
