TLDR
In the low temperature limit, the universal Mel'nikov and Meshkov formula for the inverse of the escape rate provides a good estimate of the longitudinal correlation time for all values of the dissipation including the very low damping, very high damped, and Kramers turnover regimes.

TLDR
It is shown by manipulation of Kummer’s functions that the exact integral expression for the correlation time for simple uniaxial anisotropy derived by Coffey et al is identical to the integral relaxation time originally derived by Garanin et al. by direct integration of the Fokker-Planck equation.

Inertial and bias effects in the rotational brownian motion of rodlike molecules in a uniaxial potential.
TLDR
It is shown that the escape rate of a brownian particle from a potential well as extended to the Kramers turnover problem via the depopulation factor yields a close approximation to the longest relaxation time of the system.
