Abstract
We study a driven zero range process which models a closed system of attractive particles that hop with site-dependent rates and whose steady state shows a condensation transition with increasing density. We characterise the dynamical properties of the mass fluctuations in the steady state in one dimension both analytically and numerically and show that the transport properties are anomalous in certain regions of the density-disorder plane. We also determine the form of the scaling function which describes the growth of the condensate as a function of time, starting from a uniform density distribution.
