Dynamics of self-propelled particles passing a bottleneck

We study the passage of active and passive granular particles through a bottleneck under gravitational bias. The grains are pharmaceutical capsules with spherocylindrical shapes on a vibrating table. The vibrating ground plate is slightly tilted in order to break the in-plane symmetry and to give pa...
