Abstract
Avalanching systems are usually studied in the steady state regime in
the conditions of weak driving. However, such system may experience
large short-time external disturbances moving it from this state. This
may happen, for example, in the current sheet of the Earth magnetotail
when strongly perturbed by the solar wind during large magnetic storms
events. We study the effects of such sudden strong perturbations within
the burning model, proposed as a model for the localized reconnection in
the current sheet. Particular attention is paid to the avalanches in the
transient regime and relaxation to the steady state after the
disturbance is over.
