Self-organized systems PACS 68.35.Rh -Phase transitions and critical phenomena PACS 64.60.Ak -Renormalization-group, fractal, and percolation studies of phase transitionsAbstract -We introduce a stochastic sandpile model where finite drive and dissipation are coupled to the activity field. The absorbing phase transition here, as expected, belongs to the Directed Percolation (DP) universality class. We focus on the small drive and dissipation limit, i.e. the so called self organised critical (SOC) regime and show that the system exhibits a crossover from ordinary DP-scaling to a dissipation controlled scaling which is independent of underlying dynamics or spatial dimension. The new scaling regime continues all the way to the zero bulk drive limit suggesting that the corresponding SOC behaviour is only DP, modified by the dissipationcontrolled scaling. We demonstrate this for continuous and discrete Manna Model driven by noise and bulk dissipation.
