since the number of particles per site is bounded. It follows that one can find a single exceptional set of ¯

3.4 Proofs of remaining lemmas
Proof of Lemma 3.2. Let ǫ 0. We consider the probability space Ω
′
× Z
+ Z
equipped with the product measure
IP
′ ǫ
:= ¯ ν
λ,ρ
⊗ IP ⊗ P
ǫ
where P
ǫ
is the product measure on Z whose marginal at each site is Poisson with mean K1 + ǫ.
A generic element of this space is denoted by ω

, χ, with ω
′
= η, ξ, ω and χ ∈ Z
+ Z
. We first prove 40. Because of 26 that is, coupled configurations are ordered under ¯

for s ≥ 0. Therefore γ-particles represent the discrepancies between the system starting from ξ and
the system starting from T η, ξ. We set

To this end, we follow the proof of [1, Proposition 5], with minor modifications. We emphasize that even if the latter proof corresponds to
α = β = 0, we will see that the arguments extend to α, β 6= 0, 0. Each γ
-particle and χ-particle is given an integer label j ≤ 0, and we denote by

if we impose moreover that R

By Poisson large deviation bounds, the random variable W is IP

-a.s. finite with exponentially de- caying distribution. Since
γ x ≤ K for every x ∈ Z, we have R
j
≤ −[ j
K] for all j ≤ 0, hence Z
j
≥ R
j
for every j ≤ −W χ. The dynamics of R
. t
t≥0
is defined as follows. By 72 and the graph- ical construction, at most one discrepancy can jump at each event time of
ω. If a γ-particle jumps at time t from x to y, we set R
j t
= y and R
k t
= R
k t
−
for all k 6= j, where j is the largest label l such that R
l t
−
= x. The choice of the largest label is arbitrary and could be replaced by any deterministic or random choice procedure, provided the corresponding source of randomness is independent of
ω
′
, χ. Note that we do not in general have R
j t
≤ R
j+1 t
for t 0, but this does not matter for our
purpose. The dynamics of Z
j .
is defined as follows: if R
j t
−
= x and, for some z 0 and u ∈ [0, 1], {t, x, z, u, t, x + z, −z, u} ∩ ω 6= ;
77 then Z

+ z. In other words, χ-particles evolve as mutually independent given their initial positions random walks, that jump from y to y + z at rate pz given by 73 for all y ∈ Z, z ≥ 0.
Since a jump for R

Because the random variable W in 79 does not depend on ω
