Percolation exponents at the entanglement transition

Abstract

NOTE: This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, because they have been subsequently convinced that the sudden increase in the pyrene fluorescence cannot arise from entanglements but must rather come from a caging effect, at much smaller length scales, signalling the onset of vitrification. Thus the percolation exponents that are observed must arise from the percolation of these dense caging regions.Revtex, multicolumn, 4 pages, 3 figures. This paper has been withdrawn due to a reinterpretation of the experimental results. It was realised that the fluorescence increase comes from the caging effect at the onset of vitrification
