Abstract
We analyze the abelian sandpile model on ℤ d for the starting configuration of n particles in the origin and 2d-2 particles otherwise. We give a new short proof of the theorem of Fey, Levine and Peres (J. Stat. Phys. 198:143-159, 2010) that the radius of the toppled cluster of this configuration is O(n 1/d).
