A rapidly increasing number of systems is identified in which the stochastic motion of tracer particles follows the Brownian law ⟨r2(t) ⟩≃ Dt yet the distribution of particle displacements is strongly non-Gaussian. A central approach to describe this effect is the diffusing diffusivity (DD) model in which the diffusion coefficient itself is a stochastic quantity, mimicking heterogeneities of the environment encountered by the tracer particle on its path. In this talk I will discuss how to quantify, in terms of analytical and numerical approaches, the first passage behaviour of the DD model. We observe significant modifications compared to Brownian-Gaussian diffusion, in particular that the DD model may have a more efficient first passage dynamics. Moreover we find a universal crossover point of the survival probability independent of the initial condition.
