Popis: We study the abelian sandpile growth model, where n particles are added at the origin on a stable background configuration in Z^d. Any site with at least 2d particles then topples by sending one particle to each neighbor. We find that with constant background height h <= 2d-2, the diameter of the set of sites that topple has order n^{1/d}. This was previously known only for hComment: 19 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Journal of Statistical Physics. v2 corrects the proof of the outer bound of Theorem 4.1 of arXiv:0704.0688
