Abstract
A model of local metastable states (MSs) due to the pinning induces plastic deformations
allows to describe the nonlinear I - V curves in sliding density waves (DW). With increasing DW
velocity v, the MSs of decreasing lifetimes τ ˜ 1/v are accessed. The characteristic second threshold
field is reached when the shortest life time configurations are accessed by the fast moving DW. Thus
the DW works as a kind of a "linear accelerator" testing virtual states.
