Abstract
We investigate the steady-state scattering function for driven diffusive systems with a single conserved density. In one dimension, density fluctuations spread as , i.e., faster than the diffusive , for large time . The corresponding excess noise in the current-current correlation diverges as for small frequency . Monte Carlo simulation results for a driven hard-core lattice gas confirm these results. is the borderline dimension with marginally nondiffusive behavior; for , the spread is diffusive with anisotropic long-time-tail corrections.
