Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 036806 (2007) [4 pages]Nature of Excitations of the 5/2 Fractional Quantum Hall EffectReceived 6 September 2006; published 17 January 2007 It is shown, with the help of exact diagonalization studies on systems with up to 16 electrons, in the presence of up to two delta function impurities, that the Pfaffian model is not accurate for the actual quasiholes and quasiparticles of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall effect. Implications for non-Abelian statistics are discussed. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
