Abstract

We calculate the tunneling current through long line junctions of a ν=5/2\nu=5/2 quantum Hall liquid and i) another ν=5/2\nu=5/2 liquid, ii) an integer quantum Hall liquid and iii) a quantum wire. Momentum resolved tunneling provides information about the number, propagation directions and other features of the edge modes and thus helps distinguish several competing models of the 5/2 state. We investigate transport properties of two proposed Abelian states: $K=8 state and 331 state, and four possible non-Abelian states: Pfaffian, edge-reconstructed Pfaffian, and two versions of the anti-Pfaffian state. We also show that the non-equilibrated anti-Pfaffian state has a different resistance from other proposed states in the bar geometry.
