Aging and SOC in driven dissipative systems
We study the noisy dynamics of a close relative of the sand pile model. Depending on the type of noise and the time scale of observation, we find stationary fluctuations (similar to SOC) or an aging dynamics with punctuated equilibria, a decreasing rate of events and reset properties qualitatively similar to those of glassy systems and evolution models.
