Abstract

We present a microscopic theory of the relaxational behaviour of a granular pile submitted to vibration, elucidating the different roles of collective and independent-particle relaxation. We write down and solve Langevin equations for these processes, which have an explicit coupling. The analysis of the solution in terms of independent-particle and collective relaxations provides a consistent framework for the interpretation of experimental results.
