In the framework of the Statistical Multifragmentation Model, the nuclear isoscaling analysis is extended to constrain the ratio between the sizes of the decaying sources formed in a collision between two heavy ions. It is found that the…
The flowing, jamming and avalanche behavior of granular materials is satisfyingly universal and vexingly hard to tune: a granular flow is typically intermittent and will irremediably jam if too confined. Here, we show that granular…
