Restricted sandpile revisited
  I report large-scale Monte Carlo studies of a one-dimensional height-restricted stochastic sandpile using the quasistationary simulation method. Results for systems of up to 50 000 sites yield estimates for critical exponents that differ significantly from those obtained using smaller systems, but are consistent with recent predictions derived from a Langevin equation for stochastic sandpiles [Ramasco et al., Phys. Rev. E{\bf 69}, 045105(R) (2004)]. This suggests that apparent violations of universality in one-dimensional sandpiles are due to strong corrections to scaling and finite-size effects.
