Coexistence of spanning clusters in directed percolation

The probability distribution for the number of top to bottom spanning clusters in Directed percolation in two and three dimensions appears to be universal and is of the form $P(n) \sim \exp(-\alpha n^2)$. We argue that $\alpha$ is a new critical quantity vanishing at the upper critical dimension. The probability distribution of the individual masses of the spanning clusters is found to have a Pearson distribution with a lower cutoff. Various properties of the clusters are reported.
