Multiplicity fluctuations in nuclear collisions at 158 A GeV

Nuclear Experiment 2015-06-26 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

System size dependence of multiplicity fluctuations of charged particles produced in nuclear collisions at 158 A GeV was studied in the NA49 CERN experiment. Results indicate a non-monotonic dependence of the scaled variance of the multiplicity distribution with a maximum for semi-peripheral Pb+Pb interactions with number of projectile participants of about 35. This effect is not observed in a string-hadronic model of nuclear collision HIJING.
