  A simple model of oscillator chain with dynamical traps and additive white
noise is considered. Its dynamics was studied numerically. As demonstrated,
when the trap effect is pronounced nonequilibrium phase transitions of a new
type arise. Locally they manifest themselves via distortion of the particle
arrangement symmetry. Depending on the system parameters the particle
arrangement is characterized by the corresponding distributions taking either a
bimodal form, or twoscale one, or unimodal onescale form which, however,
deviates substantially from the Gaussian distribution. The individual particle
velocities exhibit also a number of anomalies, in particular, their
distribution can be extremely wide or take a quasi-cusp form. A large number of
different cooperative structures and superstructures made of these formations
are found in the visualized time patterns. Their evolution is, in some sense,
independent of the individual particle dynamics, enabling us to regard them as
dynamical phases.
