Extending results of Oh and Zumbrun in dimensions $d\ge 3$, we establishnonlinear stability and asymptotic behavior of spatially-periodictraveling-wave solutions of viscous systems of conservation laws in criticaldimensions $d=1,2$, under a natural set of spectral stability assumptionsintroduced by Schneider in the setting of reaction diffusion equations. The keynew steps in the analysis beyond that in dimensions $d\ge 3$ are a refinedGreen function estimate separating off translation as the slowest decayinglinear mode and a novel scheme for detecting cancellation at the level of thenonlinear iteration in the Duhamel representation of a modulated periodic wave.
