Abstract: We consider a one dimensional random walk in a random environment (RWRE) with a positive speed $li{m}_{noinfty}frac{X}_{n}n=v_{a}lpha>0$. Gantert and Zeitouni showed that if the environment has both positive and negative local drifts then the quenched slowdown probabilities $P_{o}mega(X_n<xn)$ with $xin(0,v_{a}lpha)$ decay approximately like $exp-n^{1-1/s}$ for a deterministic $s>1$. More precisely, they showed that $n^{-gamma}log{P}_{o}mega(X_n<xn)$ converges to $0$ or $-infty$ depending on whether $gamma>1-1/s$ or $gamma<1-1/s$. In this paper, we improve on this by showing that $n^{-1+1/s}log{P}_{o}mega(X_n<xn)$ oscillates between $0$ and $-infty$, almost surely. This had previously been shown by Gantert only in a very special case of random environments.
