Non-Gaussian displacements in active transport on a carpet of motile cells — •Robert Großmann1, Lara S.

In this talk, we discuss the dynamics of micron-sized particles on a layer of motile cells [1]. This cell carpet acts as an active bath that propels passive tracer particles via direct mechanical contact. The resulting nonequilibrium transport shows a crossover from superdiffusive to normal-diffusive dynamics. The particle displacement distribution is distinctly non-Gaussian even in the limit of long measurement times—different from typically reported Fickian yet non-Gaussian transport, for which Gaussianity is restored beyond some system-specific correlation time. We obtain the distribution of diffusion coefficients from the experimental data and introduce a model for the displacement distribution that matches the experimentally observed non-Gaussian statistics. We argue why similar transport properties are expected for many composite active matter systems.
