| contents | Systems evolving through aggregation and fragmentation may possess an intriguing super-cluster state (SCS). Clusters constituting this state are mostly large, so the SCS resembles a gelling state. The formation of the SCS is controlled by fluctuations and in this aspect, it is similar to a critical state. The SCS is non-extensive as the number of clusters varies sub-linearly with the system size. In the parameter space, the SCS separates equilibrium and jamming (extensive) states. The conventional methods such as the van Kampen expansion fail to describe the SCS. To characterize the SCS, we propose a scaling approach with a set of critical exponents. Our theoretical findings are in good agreement with numerical results. |
