N2 - We study the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) using Monte Carlo simulations, and concentrate on the decay of the particle density ρ with time, near its critical point, which is assumed to follow ρ(t) ct− +c2t− 2+. . ... This model is known for its slow convergence to the asymptotic critical behavior; we therefore pay particular attention to finite-time corrections. We find that at the critical point, the ratio of ρ and the pair density ρp converges to a constant, indicating that both densities decay with the same power law. We show that under the assumption δ2≈2δ, two of the critical exponents of the PCPD model are δ = 0.165(10) and β = 0.31(4), consistent with those of the directed percolation (DP) model.
