Abstract:
Single clusters in a compartmentalized granular gas become
unstable at sufficiently strong shaking. Under typical
experimental conditions, the cluster remains relatively unaffected
for a considerable time τ (the so-called lifetime of the
cluster) and then abruptly collapses. Very close to the
instability threshold, τ diverges with a critical exponent
-1/2. This is explained in terms of a flux model using a mean
field potential formulation.
