Far tails of the biased continuous-time random-walk model in the short-time limit.

It has been observed in numerous experiments, simulations, and various theoretical studies that the spreading of particles can be modeled by the continuous-time random walk. We consider two widely used cases, namely Gaussian and discrete displacements, to compute the position distribution and demonstrate the emergence of exponential decay in the far tails when a bias is introduced. We further analyze the temporal rate function and the positional rate function to examine the convergence of the theoretical predictions. For Gaussian displacements, we also discuss the relationship between the position distributions with and without bias in different asymptotic limits.
