The Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model around the upper critical dimension

Abstract

We consider the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model on square lattices in different dimensions (D>=6). A finite size scaling analysis of the avalanche probability distributions yields the values of the distribution exponents, the dynamical exponent, and the dimension of the avalanches. Above the upper critical dimension D_u=4 the exponents equal the known mean field values. An analysis of the area probability distributions indicates that the avalanches are fractal above the critical dimension.
