Abstract: | A self-organized branching process is introduced to describe one-dimensional rice-pile model with stochastic topplings. Although
the branching processes are generally expected to describe well high-dimensional systems, our modification highlights some
of the peculiarities present in one dimension. We find analytically that the crossover behavior from the trivial one-dimensional
BTW behaviour to self-organized criticality is characterised by a power-law distribution of avalanches. The finite-size effects,
which are crucial to the crossover, are calculated.
