Perturbing the athermal jamming transition by activity — •Michael Schmiedeberg — Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany

By minimizing the interaction energy in a soft sphere system without crossing energy barriers the discontinuous athermal jamming transion can be observed at a packing fraction of about 0.64 in three dimensions [1]. We consider the jamming of active particles where the activity corresponds to a perturbation to the athermal jamming process. We find that due to the activity the transition becomes continuous and the transition packing fraction might occur at a different density [2]. The critical exponents agree to those of the universality class of directed percolation. As a consequence, athermal jamming of passive particles seems to be a (singular) limit of the jamming transition in an active system. Note that other perturbation like thermal fluctuations lead to a similar behavior [3]. Therefore, athermal active particles can be seen as a prototype system that leads to new insights how jamming with perturbations (as also studied in [2-5]) can be related to glassy dynamics.
