Abstract: We study the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) using Monte Carlo simulations, and concentrate on the decay of the particle density $ho$ with time, near its critical point, which is assumed to follow $ho(t)approxc{t}^{-delta}+c_2{t}^{-delt{a}_2}+\mathrm{...}$. 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 $ho$ and the pair density $h{o}_p$ converges to a constant, indicating that both densities decay with the same powerlaw. We show that under the assumption $delt{a}_{2}approx2delta$, two of the critical exponents of the PCPD model are $delta=0.165(10)$ and $$, consistent with those of the directed percolation (DP) model.
