We investigate a diffusion-influenced ground-state revers
ible ge
minate ABCD reaction in the presence of aconstant external field in one di
mension. In the Laplace do
main, we first obtain the nonreactive Green functionfro
m which the reactive Green function is derived. Analytic asy
mptotic expressions of the survival probabilityare obtained in the ti

main for both short and long ti
me regions. There exist four regi
mes for theequil

m survival probability according to the signs of the field intensities
a1 and
a2 that reactant andproduct states feel, respectively. Analysis of the long-ti

mptotic behavior of the survival probabilityshows two regi
