Medium dependence of multiplicity distributions in MLLA
Abstract
We study the modification of the multiplicity distributions in MLLA due to the presence of a QCD medium. The medium is introduced though a multiplicative constant () in the soft infrared parts of the kernels of QCD evolution equations. Using the asymptotic ansatz for quark and gluons mean multiplicities and respectively, we study two cases: fixed as previously considered in the literature, and fixed . We find opposite behaviors of the dispersion of the multiplicity distributions with increasing in both cases. For fixed the dispersion decreases, while for fixed it increases.
