The concept of temperature in driven granular suspensions — •Matthias Schröter, Alexander Buck, Leen Alawieh, and Harry L. Swinney — CNLD, UT Austin, Texas

Dense granular suspensions driven by a flow field show signatures of glass formation like dynamical heterogeneities, rate-dependence, or increase of timescales. The possibility to describe such non-equilibrium phenomena with an effective temperature is still debated. Our measurements using a torsion pendulum and tracking of tracer particles test the applicability of fluctuation-dissipation theorem based temperature concepts.
