Abstract
We present a novel path-integral method for the determination of time-dependent and time-averaged reaction rates in multidimensional, periodically driven escape problems at weak thermal noise. The so obtained general expressions are evaluated explicitly for the situation of a sinusoidally driven, damped particle with inertia moving in a metastable, piecewise parabolic potential. A comparison with data from Monte-Carlo simulations yields a very good agreement with analytic results over a wide parameter range.
