Description
We perform an extensive numerical study of avalanche behavior in a 2D LJ glass at T=0, sheared at finite strain rates $\dotγ$. From the finite size analysis of stress fluctuations and of transverse diffusion we show that flip-flip correlations remain relevant at all realistic strain rates. We predict that the avalanche size scales as $\dotγ^{-1/d}$, with $d$ the space dimension.
