DESCRIPTION:I shall discuss a way to evaluate tails of the probability dis
 tribution functions in stochastic reaction-diffusion systems. The method i
 s based on the semi-classical treatment of a proper ``quantum'' field theo
 ry\, which may be associated with the reaction-diffusion models. The same 
 set of ideas may be applied to a classification of non-equilibrium phase t
 ransitions\, taking place in these models.
