The collision times fall in a power-law distribution with an exponent dictated by whether the grains are ordered or disordered. Remarkably, the exponents have almost no dependence on dimension. We are also able to resolve a disagreement between simulation and experiments on the exponent of the collision time power-law distribution.7 pages, 5 figuresSoft Condensed MatterSimulations of collision times in gravity driven granular flowtext
