Popis: We study the different dynamical regimes of a vortex lattice driven by AC forces in the presence of random pinning via numerical simulations. The behaviour of the different observables is charaterized as a function of the applied force amplitude for different frequencies. We discuss the inconveniences of using the mean velocity to identify the depinnig transition and we show that instead, the mean quadratic displacement of the lattice is the relevant magnitude to characterize different AC regimes. We discuss how the results depend on the initial configuration and we identify new hysteretic effects which are absent in the DC driven systems.
