Abstract
We compute the time evolving probability of a Gaussian wave packet to be reflected from a rectangular potential barrier which is perturbed by reducing its height. A time interval is found during which this probability of reflection is enhanced (superarrivals) compared to the unperturbed case. Such a time evolving reflection probability implies that the effect of perturbation propagates across the wave packet faster than its group velocity - a curious form of nonlocality.
