✦ Synopsis

We investigate a new model of binary fragmentation with inhibition, driven by the white noise. In a broad range of fragmentation probabilities, the power-law spatiotemporal correlations are found to arise due to self-organized criticality (SOC). We find in the SOC phase a non-trivial power spectrum of the temporal sequence of the fragmentation events. The 1If behaviour is recovered in the irreversible, near-equilibrium part of this phase.
