How the literature uses it

What this paper does with the arXiv papers it cites

Each citing sentence is taken from the citing paper's LaTeX source and typed by Pith's classifier. A label appears at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), a contest at 0.7 or more; the quoted words are the citing authors'. How each label was checked · JSON

What it cites · 2 sentences without a confident label

Uses the method or tool of 1 paper

Following earlier work [ref] we normalize the leakage of AM by the radiated amount of energy and introduce the dimensionless AM $κω/P$, with $P$ the radiated amount of energy per second.

Compares with 1 paper

The numbers for total leakage rate ($-0.2 ±0.1$) are almost one order of magnitude less than what we found for $η= 0.03$ and $τ≈2$ in Ref. [ref] and one may speculate about the possibility of some process related to “weak localization" that reduces the transfer of angular momentum.
