Cosmology

a framework that derives halo mass functions and merger histories from random walks of the smoothed density field crossing a collapse barrier.

In cosmology, excursion set theory refers to a framework that derives halo mass functions and merger histories from random walks of the smoothed density field crossing a collapse barrier. This meaning comes from Bond (1991) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
