The number of particles detected in a nucleus-nucleus collision strongly depends on the impact parameter of the collision. Therefore, multiplicity fluctuations, as well as rapidity correlations of multiplicities, are dominated by impact…

Using the simulation data coming from the cascade model, we have studied the behavior of event number as a function of impact parameter-b and a number of all charged particles- Nch for light and heavy nuclei at different energies. We have…
