Multiplicity Moments and Hard Processes in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The normalized multiplicity moments and their relation with soft and hard processes in relativistic heavy ion collisions are analyzed in a general two-component model. It is found that, the strong fluctuations in binary collision number N_c in minimum-bias events can enhance the hard component, especially for the higher order moments. This enhancement can not be effectively described by modifying the participant number in the one-component model.
