We experimentally, numerically and theoretically study the optimal mean time needed by a Brownian particle, freely diffusing either in one or two dimensions, to reach, within a tolerance radius R tol, a target at a distance L from an initial position in the presence of resetting. The reset position is Gaussian distributed with width σ. We derived and tested two resetting protocols, one with a periodic and one with random (Poissonian) resetting times. We computed and measured the full first…
