Absorbing-state phase transitions in fixed-energy sandpiles

We study sandpile models as closed systems, with the conserved energy density zeta playing the role of an external parameter. The critical energy density zeta (c) marks a nonequilibrium phase transition between active and absorbing states. Several fixed-energy sandpiles are studied in extensive simu...
