An ensemble of hard spheres confined by two vertical glass plates forming a gap only slightly larger than the particle diameter - comparable to a Hele-Shaw cell - is vertically oscillated. To study segregation intruders are designed by gluing several spheres together. When a critical value of the forcing strength is reached, the granular bed begins to fluidize and - in the presence of intruders - segregation phenomena can be observed. By tracking of all granular particles, density and velocity fields of the system are measured. The question whether the intruders attract each other or are driven to a common location is addressed.
