Particle dynamics with heterogeneous rates

This paper studies a model of particles moving on a line, where each particle jumps randomly left and right at its own intrinsic rates. An exclusion interaction prevents multiple particles occupying one site. Under conditions on the jump rates, if started closely packed, the particles form a 'stable cloud', meaning the gaps between particles reach a stationary distribution, and all particles share one overall speed.
