First-passage time: a conception leading to superstatistics

To describe the nonequilibrium states of a system we introduce a new thermodynamic parameter -- the lifetime (the first passage time) of a system. The statistical distributions that can be obtained out of the mesoscopic description characterizing the behaviour of a system by specifying the stochasti...
