Waiting-time distribution between avalanches and 1/f-noise: Experiments on a three dimensional pile of rice

TL;DR

This study investigates the waiting-time distribution between avalanches and 1/f-noise in a 3D rice pile, aiming to understand the underlying dynamics of self-organized criticality.

Contribution

The paper introduces experimental analysis of avalanche waiting times in a three-dimensional rice pile to explore 1/f-noise characteristics.

Findings

Waiting-time distribution exhibits 1/f-noise behavior

Experimental data suggests scale-invariant avalanche dynamics

Analysis reveals potential links to self-organized criticality

Abstract

This paper has been temporarily withdrawn by the author(s). There seems to have been an error in the data analysis and we are investigating the implications and trying to alleviate the problem.
