Abstract
Scaling behaviour of an order parameter and its fluctuations is numerically investigated at the onset of macroscopic mutual entrainment in a population of interacting self-oscillators. In particular, evidence is presented for the power law divergence of the fluctuations with exponents near 1/8. Finite-size scaling forms are also proposed and verified.Keywords
